Abstract
Dentigerous cysts generally encompass the crown of an unerupted tooth. These cysts are usually solitary.
They are the second most common odontogenic type of cysts following radicular cysts, and are frequently associated
with impacted mandibular third molars or maxillary canines.
Most multiple cysts found in the jaw are odontogenic keratocysts associated with the nevoid basal cell carcinoma
syndrome, mucopolysaccharidoses and cleidocranial dysplasia. Although a single dentigerous cyst is well documented
in the medical literature, including the prevalence, treatment and prognosis, multiple dentigerous cysts
without any systemic symptoms is unusual. Furthermore, cases involving both the maxilla and mandible are especially
rare.
We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with nonsyndromic multiple dentigerous cysts associated with a
mandibular second premolar and a maxillary canine. The treatment was conservative and included marsupialization
and eruption guidance. Further follow
