Tsuchiyama, A.,White, J., Yoong, P</span> Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, Los Angeles, CA Abstract: Case Report of LSTR and Dentigerous Cyst Formation Lesion sterilization and tissue repair (LSTR) is a non-vital pulp therapy technique involving an antibiotic paste without mechanical instrumentation. This case report discusses a 5-year-10-month-old female patient who was referred to the USC Pediatric Dental Clinic for comprehensive dental treatment. Several caries were present (notably with an abscess on #T), with subsequent LSTR treatment of #S and #T utilizing a triple antibiotic paste of metronidazole, ciprofloxacin and minocycline. Three years following LSTR treatment a asymptomatic unilocular, well-defined radiolucent lesion was identified between the root of #29 and #30. An oral surgery excisional biopsy was performed, in which the lesion was removed and histologically identified as a dentigerous cyst. This report discusses the potential adverse outcome of a dentigerous cyst developing post-LSTR treatment.
