“…16 According to Asaumi et al 17 dentigerous cyst formation arising from supernumerary teeth comprises 11% of the cases while other authors have observed it in 6-7% of cases. [18][19][20] Dentigerous cysts mostly develop around a mesiodens which are usually conical in shape however in the present case report a rare presentation of the bilateral mesiodentes with tuberculate form on the left side and molariform associated with dentigerous cyst on the right side were seen. Our report further documents an unusual early presentation of dentigerous cyst associated with supernumerary teeth.…”

Dentigerous Cyst Associated with Unusual Supernumerary Teeth: A Case Report

Dentigerous cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst associated with unerupted teeth, odontomes or supernumerary teeth. About 95% of dentigerous cysts involve the permanent dentition and only 5% are associated with supernumerary teeth. Supernumerary teeth should be examined very carefully to prevent possible effects on adjacent regular teeth and possible cystic development . Dentigerous cysts are usually slow-growing lesions and may attain a considerable size with minimal or no symptoms. Ameloblastoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma have also been reported to arise from the lining epithelium of dentigerous cysts, indicating the pluripotentiality of their cells. Early detection and removal of such cysts is therefore important to reduce potential morbidity. A rare case of a twelve year old boy with two supernumerary teeth, of which one was associated with dentigerous cyst is described here along with the treatment strategy employed for the patient.

“…MCs also have a propensity to occur in mandible than maxilla. Ustuner et al 12 differs in this aspect and reported that occurrence of MCs have the maxilla : mandible ratio of 2 : 1 with mandibular angle and body region being the most common site. In the present series multiple OKCs were noticed involving both the jaws with equal propensity.…”

Occurrence of multiple cysts (MC) involving the jaw is rare. When multiple, it is usually associated with a syndrome. Occurrence of MC without syndromic association is extremely rare. Multiple odontogenic cysts mostly could be odontogenic keratocysts or dentigerous cysts. Odontogenic keratocyst shows involvement of mandible over maxilla, with peak incidence in second and third decade and it is exceedingly rare before 10 years of age. However multiple odontogenic keratocysts found in children are often reflective of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. Here is a case report which documents multiple jaw cysts involving both the jaws, in three siblings of ages 10, 13 and 17 years with negative parental history. All three reported cases were free of any systemic involvement. As odontogenic keratocyst spreads through bone marrow, destruction is more before any clinical manifestation. Therefore, early detection and intervention are essential in preventing extensive destruction.

Dentigerous Cyst/developmental cyst of benign odontogenic origin are ones that surround the crown of impacted, embedded, unerupted or developing teeth. Dentigerous cyst is second most common cyst of the oral cavity after radicular cyst. They are usually solitary in occurrence and mostly associated with the mandibular third molars. Dentigerous cysts involving impacted second premolars are rarely reported in the literatures. We present a rare case of dentigerous cyst in a 12-year-old female patient associated with an impacted mandibular second premolar.How to cite this article: Mishra R, Tripathi AM, Rathore M.
