Dentigerous cysts are odontogenic developmental cysts, which mostly surround the crown of unerupted teeth, odontomas or supernumerary teeth. These cysts are mostly solitary in occurrence and their bilateral presentation is rare, especially in the absence of syndromes such as Maroteaux-Lamy, basal cell nevus or cleidocranial dysplasia. We present an unusual case of a 24-year-old female with nonsyndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts associated with unerupted mandibular canines that were diagnosed histopathologically as dentigerous cysts.

Purpose: This report aims to present an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating a case of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), an inborn error of immunity, resulting in successive complications following a third molar extraction procedure.
Case Presentation: The patient, a 37-year-old Caucasian female, sought a specialist for the extraction of an impacted lower third molar associated with dentigerous cyst. Due to the possibility of mandibular fracture, a bone fixation system was used in the region.

Article Synopsis
- Odontogenic cysts can be treated aggressively through enucleation or conservatively through techniques like cyst decompression.
- Cyst decompression helps to alleviate pressure within the cyst, leading to its shrinkage and potentially avoiding more invasive treatments.
- The article details a case study of an 8-year-old boy with an infected odontogenic cyst who underwent a decompression technique for treatment.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to differentiate between radicular cysts (RCs), dentigerous cysts (DCs), and odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) using radiomic features as a non-invasive diagnosis method before surgery.
- A total of 161 cysts were analyzed through semi-automatic segmentation of CBCT images, focusing on various shape-based and textural features to assess their differences.
- Results indicated significant statistical differences in radiomic features among the cyst types, suggesting these features could help with differential diagnosis without needing a biopsy.

Background: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a partial manifestation of Gorlin syndrome (GS), resulting from the abnormal activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway. OKC predominantly occurs in young adults and is mostly asymptomatic at the time of initial diagnosis. As OKC is asymptomatic, GS can be challenging to diagnose in certain instances.

Odontogenic cysts and tumors exhibit a broad spectrum of biological characteristics. Despite recent advances in understanding the complex nature of these lesions, relatively less is known about the molecular markers involved in key pathogenic steps, such as proliferation and differentiation. This study aimed to elucidate the expression patterns of p63 and Ki-67 in odontogenic lesions, which may influence the management strategies.
