Introduction: The dentigerous cyst is the second most frequent odontogenic cyst of the jaws, developing from changes in the reduced epithelium of the enamel organ, due to accumulation of fluid between the epithelium and the tooth enamel. Usually it relates to the crown of a non erupted tooth. Objectives: the purpose of this study was to discuss aspects of diagnosis and management of dentigerous cysts in children. Methods: the search of scientific articles indexed in bibliographic database PUBMED® in the period between February and March 2015, using the descriptor "dentigerous cyst" was performed. Results: 147 articles published in the last 10 years were found. All papers that addressed dentigerous cyst in children were included in this study. The articles reviewed highlighted important issues regarding epidemiology, management and treatment of dentigerous cyst in pediatric patients. Conclusion: the dentigerous cyst is more prevalent in males with a mean age of 10 years, mainly affecting the mandible. Both enucleation and marsupialization are indicated for the treatment of cysts.
