Multiple dentigerous cysts.

Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are one of the common cysts of the jaws and are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth, most frequently with impacted mandibular third molars. Bilateral dentigerous cysts generally occur in association with a developmental syndrome or systemic diseases. Bilateral dentigerous cysts in absence of a syndrome is a rare condition. There are only 18 cases reported in the literature till date (Dinkar et al. J Indian Soc Pedod Prev Dent 25:56-59, 2007). There are no cases reported with multiple dentigerous cyst involving all the four quadrants.
