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

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.
