# The Kang Appliance: A Novel Tooth-Borne Approach to Decompression of Dentigerous Cysts in Pediatric Patients

## TL;DR

A new tooth-borne appliance called the Kang Appliance is introduced to treat dentigerous cysts in children more effectively than traditional methods.

## Contribution

The Kang Appliance is a novel tooth-borne alternative to tissue-borne appliances for marsupialization of dentigerous cysts in pediatric patients.

## Key findings

- The Kang Appliance provides a more stable and comfortable solution for pediatric patients.
- It reduces the risk of appliance dislodgement compared to traditional tissue-borne methods.

## Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts that can cause significant disruption to normal tooth eruption and jaw development in pediatric patients. Traditional marsupialization techniques rely on tissue-borne appliances, which often lead to discomfort and frequent dislodgement in young patients. This case report presents a novel tooth-borne appliance, the Kang Appliance, as an effective alternative for marsupialization.
