Bilateral Buccal Bifurcation Cyst: Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract: Buccal bifurcation cyst (BBC) is a rare inflammatory odontogenic cyst that typically occurs at the buccal region of the first or second mandibular molars of children. In the current case, a 9-year-old boy complained of an extraoral soft tissue painful swelling. Intraoral examination revealed a partial eruption of the right permanent mandibular first molar with drainage of purulent material and clinical absence of the left mandibular first molar. Panoramic radiographic and computed tomography showed two well-de… Show more

“…A more conservative non surgical approach (daily irrigation of the pocket with saline) has also been reported [5,7]. Marsupialization can be useful to reduce the volume of a big cyst to facilitate its enucleation later on.…”

“…Inflammatory collateral cysts have been previously referred to as buccal bifurcation and paradental cysts in literature, along with many other synonyms (Table 2) (Wright and Vered 2017). The term buccal bifurcation cyst describes cysts situated buccal to first or second permanent molars, often during eruption in children of respective dental age (David et al 1998;Friedrich et al 2014;Ramos et al 2012). Cysts in the same position situated on third permanent molars have been described as paradental cysts; however, these terms have been used interchangeably (Thikkurissy et al 2010).…”

“…Those affecting third molars tend to present in the third decade of life due to late eruption and high tendency for impaction (Jones et al 2006;Thikkurissy et al 2010). Bilateral inflammatory collateral cysts have also been reported in literature, with the patient reported in 'case 2' an example of bilateral cyst presentation (Corona-Rodriguez et al 2011;Ramos et al 2012).…”
