“…A search of PubMed from 1943 to 2014 revealed that only 30 cases of bilateral dentigerous cysts in non-syndromic patients were reported; 24 cases occurred in the mandible, 3 in the maxilla, and 3 in both the mandible and maxilla 5 6 . Henefer 7 reported a case of bilateral dentigerous cysts that simultaneously involved all four dental quadrants around the unerupted premolar and cuspids. However, in our case, the four dentigerous cysts involved un-erupted third molars and had a symmetric appearance in a non-syndromic patient.…”

Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crown of the tooth and typically develop from single lesions. Bilateral and multiple dentigerous cysts are very rare and occur in patients with syndromic conditions. This paper presents a case report of a 15-year-old male patient that experienced non-syndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts that simultaneously occurred in all four dental quadrants around the unerupted third molars. Clinicians should confirm the extent of cystic lesions using a panoramic view and computed tomography, and should keep the possibility of bilateral dentigerous cysts in mind as a potential diagnosis, even in a non-syndromic patient.

“…The mean age of the 19 cases was 23.57 years. Twelve of these occurred in patients under the age of 20 years and 74,10,12,14,16,21 occured in patients older than 20 years 1,5,6,8,11,13,17–20. They usually present at under the age of 20 because of the tooth eruption chronology.…”

ObjectiveDentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. They usually occur singly and are located in the mandible. Nonsyndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts (NSBDC) are rarely seen during childhood. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term effects of the marsupialization technique in growing children with NSBDC.Study designSeven patients with NSBDC (4 female, 3 male) ranging in age from 7 to 9 years (mean 8.35 years) were involved in the study. All the individuals were treated by marsupialization. Space-maintaining appliances were applied during permanent teeth eruption. Intraoral photographs, and panoramic and periapical films were taken before surgery and during healing.ResultsThe NSBDC were successfully treated by the marsupialization technique and rapid healing period was observed in the growing patients, without any loss of permanent teeth. No recurrence was seen in the long-term follow-up period (3–10 years).ConclusionOur clinical and radiological results revealed that using the marsupialization technique in children with NSBDC provided safe healing of permanent teeth around the dentigerous cysts in a short period. However, treatment planning and regular clinical follow-ups are necessary to ensure clinical success.
