Bilateral dentigerous cyst in a nonsyndromic patient: case report and literature review

J Dent Child (Chic). 2009 Jan-Apr;76(1):92-6.

Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are the most common developmental cysts of the jaws and are associated with impacted teeth. Bilateral dentigerous cysts are rare and typically occur in association with a developmental syndrome. The occurrence of bilateral dentigerous cysts in the absence of a developmental syndrome is very rare. The purpose of this paper was to report on a nonsyndromic, 5-year-old boy who presented mandibular bilateral dentigerous cysts.
