A dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst, thought to be of developmental origin. It is associated with the crown of an unerupted (or partially erupted) tooth. The cyst cavity is lined by epithelial cells derived from the reduced enamel epithelium of the tooth forming organ. Most dentigerous cysts are solitary. Multiple/bilateral cysts are usually found in association with a number of syndromes including cleidocranial dysplasia, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome and Gorlin--Goltz syndrome (multiple OKCs). In the absence of these syndromes, the occurrence of multiple dentigerous cysts is rare. Here, we report the unusual occurrence of non-syndromic multiple dentigerous cysts.
含牙囊肿是一种牙源性囊肿，被认为起源于发育过程。它与未萌出（或部分萌出）牙齿的牙冠相关。囊肿腔由来自牙齿形成器官的缩余釉上皮的上皮细胞衬里。大多数含牙囊肿是单发的。多发/双侧囊肿通常与多种综合征相关，包括锁骨颅骨发育不全、马罗托-拉米综合征和戈林-戈尔茨综合征（多发性牙源性角化囊肿）。在没有这些综合征的情况下，多发含牙囊肿的发生很罕见。在此，我们报告非综合征性多发含牙囊肿的罕见病例。
