Abstract
Dentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that arise from the dental follicle of an unerupted or developing tooth. They are the second most common odontogenic cysts after radicular cysts. Multiple dentigerous cysts have been reported on occasion in association with syndromes such as cleidocranial dysplasia, mucopolysaccharidosis and basal cell nevus syndrome. We report the clinical and radiologic findings of bilateral maxillary dentigerous cysts in a nonsyndromic 10-year-old boy, a condition that, to our knowledge has only been reported twice. The importance of early diagnosis and management is highlighted.
