Özet

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare odontogenic cyst with a developmental origin. COC can be associated with unerupted teeth, odontomas, ameloblastomas, adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, and in some cases with other odontogenic cysts. It occurs over a wide age range particularly common in 2nd decade of life. Generally, the treatment method for COC is local excision. For extensive lesions, decompression or marsupialisation can be also used. Long term follow-up is recommended in COC cases. Here, we present a clinical case of COC associated with an impacted mandibular canine tooth and a persistent deciduous tooth and of a smaller size than is normally encountered in a 16-years old male patient.
