A dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst, associated with the crown of an impacted or unerupted tooth. The occurrence of bilateral dentigerous cysts is uncommon among the odontogenic cysts of the jaw, as they are usually solitary. Multiple cysts, when reported, are generally associated with syndromes such as cleidocranial dysplasia, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, and systemic diseases like mucopolysaccharidosis. This article presents a case of bilateral mandibular dentigerous cysts in a nonsyndromic patient, along with a review of the literature and an examination of the treatment modality.

Introduction And Importance: The association between Dentigerous cysts (DCs) and Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) was claimed theoretically in a very few reports, with very few clinical foundations. The aim of this report was to present a unique case of multiple DCs in the mandible in a patient showing features of GGS.
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old male patient presented with multiple cyst-like lesions in the mandible associated with some clinical and radiological features of GGS, and that raised the suspension of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC).

A dentigerous cyst is an epithelial-lined odontogenic cyst formed by an accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth. About 70% of dentigerous cysts occur in the mandible and 30% in the maxilla and the most involved teeth are maxillary canines and maxillary third molars. Dentigerous cysts often displace the related tooth into an ectopic position.

Bilateral dentigerous cysts (DC) associated with unerupted mandibular first molars in a non-syndromic pediatric individual are rare. Secondary infections may lead to complications, such as discomfort due to pain, disfigurement caused by enlargement of the cyst with cortical expansion of the jawbone, displacement of teeth and paraesthesia of the adjacent nerve. This case report describes the occurrence of bilateral DC in an eight-year-old patient.

This report presents two clinical cases of children with dentigerous cysts of inflammatory origin.
