A soft tissue analogue of the dentigerous cyst is called as eruption cyst, but is considered as a definite clinical entity. The present case of an eruption cyst in a 12-year old male patient describes a single well-demarcated, domeshaped swelling covering the alveolar ridge in relation with 14, which was bluish-pink in colour with a smooth surface, soft in consistency, fluctuant, and non-tender on palpation. Radiographically, no evidence of bony involvement was seen. These type of cases are clinically significant in that knowledge among general dental practitioners. Therefore the knowledge regarding same is very essential to reach out the correct diagnosis and to provide proper treatment.
