“…On our data basis research (English language literature) only 22 cases of bilateral DC not related to syndromes were identified and just eight were associated to permanent mandibular right and left third molars,[23456789] females patients accounted for 37.5% of the patients. The age range for the reported cases varies from 15 to 57 years of age with 37.38 averages [Table 1].…”

Unusual bilateral dentigerous cysts in a nonsyndromic patient assessed by cone beam computed tomography

In the absence of syndromes, bilateral dentigerous cysts (DC) located on the jaws are unusual. In English based language literature review, we only found eight reports of nonsyndromic bilateral dentigerous cyst associated with mandibular third molars. Therefore, we report the unusual occurrence of sizable nonsyndromic bilateral DC associated with mandibular impacted third molars in a 42-year-old Caucasian woman. The lesions were assessed by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) the right lesion showed approximately 23.64 mm and the left one, 16.57 mm diameter, both located intimately next to the mandibular canal. Bilateral surgical enucleation, related teeth excision of both third molars and plate for fixation placement on the right and bigger lesion, under general anesthesia was the final treatment choice. Clinical, radiographic and histopathological features confirmed diagnose of bilateral dentigerous cyst. Now-a-days, the patient is on 18 months radiograph follow-up with favorable osseous formation with no evidence of recurrence of the cysts.

“…A search of MEDLINE from 1967 to 2010, using the key words 'dentigerous cyst', 'bilateral', and 'multiple', was conducted and revealed no case series of NSBDC in growing patients. To our knowledge, 17 of 19 cases have been associated with mandibular molar teeth, 11 4,10,[13][14][15][16] of these being associated with third molar teeth and 8 associated with first and second molar teeth. 8,[17][18][19][20] Only 2 of these were affecting the second premolars.…”

Dentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. They usually occur singly and are located in the mandible. Nonsyndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts (NSBDC) are rarely seen during childhood. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term effects of the marsupialization technique in growing children with NSBDC. Study design: Seven patients with NSBDC (4 female, 3 male) ranging in age from 7 to 9 years (mean 8.35 years) were involved in the study. All the individuals were treated by marsupialization. Space-maintaining ap pliances were applied during permanent teeth eruption. Intraoral photographs, and panoramic and periapical films were taken before surgery and during healing. Results: The NSBDC were successfully treated by the marsupialization technique and rapid healing period was observed in the growing patients, without any loss of permanent teeth. No recurrence was seen in the long-term follow-up period (3-10 years). Conclusion: Our clinical and radiological results revealed that using the marsupialization technique in children with NSBDC provided safe healing of permanent teeth around the dentigerous cysts in a short period. However, treatment planning and regular clinical follow-ups are necessary to ensure clinical success.

“…However, Bottom Panoramic x-ray of the same lesion dentigerous cysts are known to occur anywhere in the mandible, and teeth other than third molar can be associated with the cyst (4,5). There may be more than one cyst in the mandible, and bilateral involvement may be seen (6). About 60% of dentigerous cysts occur in the mandible, and the rest are encountered in the maxilla, especially in the canine region (2).…”

Dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cysts of the mandible. They may vary in size from 2 cm to more than 10 cm. In the present report, a dentigerous cyst with massive involvement of the right half of the mandible in a young patient is presented. For cosmetic reasons and long term risks these cysts must be treated. Surgical removal is the preferred modality and a submandibular route should be chosen in large lesions. Bony cavities may be decreased in volume by using osteoperiosteal flaps, but there is no need for primary bone grafting, even for large defects.
