Abstract
Dentigerous cysts usually develop in the 2nd to 4th decades of life and contain the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth. It is commonly observed in the mandibular third molar region. Typically, this kind oflesion presents withno symptoms, is often discovered during routine radiographic examination, and presents unilaterally. We report a case of a 59-year-old woman with bilateral radiolucent lesions located at the incisula mandibulae, containing the third molars. Histology of the specimens extracted from both sides showed findings of infected dentigerous cysts. It is an unusual case with regard to the site of the cysts as well as their simultaneity and bilaterality.
