The Kang Appliance: A Novel Tooth‐Borne Approach to Decompression of Dentigerous Cysts in Pediatric Patients

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts that can cause significant disruption to normal tooth eruption and jaw development in pediatric patients. Traditional marsupialization techniques rely on tissue-borne appliances, which often lead to discomfort and frequent dislodgement in young patients. This case report presents a novel tooth-borne appliance, the Kang Appliance, as an effective alternative for marsupialization.
