Abstract

A case of a large dentigerous cyst containing a canine tooth in the maxillary antrum is presented. This case is of interest due because of its extensiveness and thepresence of a canine tooth in the roof of the maxillary sinus. In addition, this caused aright-sided epiphora. Enucleation of the cyst containing the ectopic tooth was made.
