In children, it aims to preserve and promote eruption of the tooth germs involved in the cystic lesion, as well as maintain the integrity of surrounding anatomical structures. Objective: The aim of this study was to illustrate the importance of marsupialization in the treatment of odontogenic cysts in children, through a case report of two clinical cases. Case report: We report the cases of two odontogenic cysts treated by marsupialization in two children consulting the pediatric odontology department of the dental consultation and treatment center in Casablanca, Morocco. The first case involved a 9-year-old boy consulting for facial asymmetry associated with a left latero-mandibular mass. The second case involved a 7-year-old girl who presented with a median maxillary bone swelling, slightly deported to the left side. Both patients presented odontogenic cysts and were treated by marsupialization. Discussion: Both patients showed a good clinical and radiological evolution with the resolution of the cystic lesion and the eruption of teeth involved in it. Conclusion: Despite the variability of therapies proposed for odontogenic cyst treatment, marsupialization remains a therapeutic option, requiring careful patient selection and long, rigorous follow-up, but offering several advantages, particularly for children.

This virus is highly contagious, and at that point, there was no treatment or vaccine available against it. The medical staff resorted to the use of personal protective equipment such as face masks to protect against Covid-19. Soon, the use of facemasks became mandatory for individuals in many countries around the World and it is no longer restricted to medical personnel only. However, in the light of the use of facemasks, which seems to be necessary, several questions arise concerning the benefits and risks associated with wearing these masks. This review aims to clarify the protective role of facemasks against the spread of Sars-cov-2 and to focus on the risks that may pose to humans. Our study shows that wearing protective masks is beneficial in protecting against the spread of covid-19 in two ways, directly by limiting the diffusion of aerosols and indirectly by reducing the face touching. On the other hand, wearing face masks for long periods can affect the cardiopulmonary activity, lead to skin problems, such as(itching, rashes, burns, acne), ocular problems, and headache, not to mention the impact on interpersonal communication by affecting the perception of voices on one side and the perception of faces and emotions on the other side. To benefit from the advantages of masks while avoiding the risks that may be associated with their use, the general population must be educated on the proper way to wear these medical devices.
