Bilateral Maxillary Dentigerous Cyst.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
A dentigerous cyst can be defined as a cyst that encloses the crown of an unerupted tooth, expands the follicle and is attached to the cementoenamel junction of the unerupted tooth. The substantial majority of dentigerous cysts involve the mandibular third molar and the maxillary permanent canine, followed by the mandibular premolars, maxillary third molars and rarely the maxillary premolars1. Although dentigerous cysts are common developmental cysts, bilateral dentigerous cysts and that too of maxillary origin are extremely rare in the absence of an underlying syndrome or systemic disease and hardly reported. Bilateral or multiple dentigerous cysts are usually associated with the Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, cleidocranial dysplasia, Basal cell nevus syndrome2. An extensive search of the English language literature has identified only 22 cases3. Although this finding may reflect the true rarity of the condition, it is conceivable that bilateral dentigerous cysts are either under recognized or under-reported as sometimes they are known to regress spontaneously4.
