Non-syndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts with significant root resorption: a case report

摘要

Dentigerous cysts are the most common developmental odontogenic cysts and are associated with impacted teeth, usually third molars. Bilateral dentigerous cysts are rare and usually occur in patients with a known syndrome, such as cleidocranial dysplasia. In this study, we report a case of bilateral dentigerous cysts with associated significant root resorption in an otherwise healthy 38-year-old female patient. The patient presented with left-sided non-tender mandibular swelling and mobility of the left man-dibular first and second molar teeth.
