Unusual multiple dentigerous cysts evaluated by cone beam computed tomography: a case report on non-syndromic patient.

Abstract Dentigerous cyst is the most common developmental maxillary cyst, often being associated with impacted third molars. The occurrence of bilateral or multiple lesions is usually associated with syndromes. The present report describes a case of multiple dentigerous cyst affecting both maxilla and mandible in association with impacted third molars in a non-syndromic patient. The complementary use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) could provide accurate knowledge for pre-operative radiologic assessment to delineate the extension of the lesion as well as its relationship with adjacent structures. The typical imaging characteristics can be useful for an adequate diagnosis. This type of lesion requires comprehensive pre-operative evaluation and logical operational approach.
