Dentigerous cysts are the most common developmental cysts of the jaws, most frequently associated with impacted mandibular third molar teeth. Bilateral dentigerous cysts are rare and occur typically in association with a developmental syndrome. The reported occurrence of bilateral dentigerous cysts in the absence of a syndrome is rare and, to date, only 11 cases have been described. Here, we report a case of bilateral nonsyndromic, dentigerous cysts and review the literature for this unusual finding.
含牙囊肿是颌骨最常见的发育性囊肿,最常与下颌阻生第三磨牙相关。双侧含牙囊肿罕见,通常与一种发育综合征有关。据报道,在无综合征情况下发生双侧含牙囊肿的情况罕见,迄今为止,仅描述过11例。在此,我们报告一例双侧非综合征性含牙囊肿病例,并对这一不寻常的发现进行文献复习。
