Dentigerous Cysts in Four Quadrants: A Rare and First Reported Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dentigerous cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst which usually occurs in the second and third decade of life. Dentigerous cyst is one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts associated with partially erupted, developing, or impacted teeth. The mandibular third molars have a high predictability followed by maxillary canines. Occurrence of dentigerous cyst bilaterally is generally observed in syndromic cases. Non-syndromic dentigerous cyst occurring bilaterally or involving both arches at the same time is very rare. This presented case is rare and unique in which all four quadrants shows the presence of dentigerous cyst. In this case there are well-defined cysts associated with impacted molars as well as with supernumerary teeth in all the four quadrants of jaws. The clinical documentation of such a case in available literature is found to be first time.

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 ...

Introduction: Dentigerous cysts (DCs) are the most common developmental cysts of the jaws, mostly associated with impacted third molars and canines. Multiple or bilateral DCs are rare and typically occur in association with some syndromes including cleidocranial dysplasia and Gorlin-Goltz. The occurrence of multiple DCs is rare in the absence of these syndromes. Case Presentation: A 28-year-ol...

This material was probably keratin, which is not produced in dentigerous cysts 3. Although the diagnosis is established solely after histo-pathological analysis, some imaging features presented in this case are more likely to indicate OKC. Radiolucencies distal to the t...
متن کاملA rare case of dentigerous cyst in a one year old child: the earliest known reported occurrence.
Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic jaw cysts, commonly manifesting in the second and third decades of life. Very few of these cysts have been reported in children younger than 10 years of age. This article describes a rare case of dentigerous cyst in a 1-year-old boy, the youngest case to be documented. The clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features are discussed; the incr...
