Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of marsupialization or decompression of dentigerous cysts involving the crowns of unerupted permanent teeth during the state of mixed dentition with observation of outcomes. Patients and methods Six patients were included in this series. Two were females while the rest were males. They were operated under local anaesthesia except one who was operated under general anaesthesia. Results All involved teeth erupted spontaneously without the need for orthodontic intervention in all but one patient, who required subsequent intervention. No adverse outcomes were recorded in our series.
