Eruption cyst is a benign cyst associated with a primary or permanent tooth in its soft tissue
phase after erupting through the bone. It is most prevalent in the Caucasian race. Intraoral
examination of four patients revealed eruption cyst. Among these, in three patients it occurred
in the maxillary arch and one had it in the mandibular arch. All were associated with permanent
tooth. Surgical treatment was done in three cases and in one case the cyst disappeared gradually
and tooth erupted in normal pattern. Four cases of eruption cyst from India are presented and
literature on this condition is reviewed. It is clinically significant in that knowledge among
general dentists is very essential regarding this developmental disturbance to reach the correct
diagnosis and to provide proper treatment.
Key words: Benign cyst, eruption cyst, eruption hematoma, simple excision
