Bilateral maxillary dentigerous cysts: a case report.

Dentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. They are usually single in occurrence and located in the mandible. Multiple cysts are reported in patients with conditions such as mucopolysaccharidosis and basal cell nevus syndrome. We present the radiologic findings of bilateral impacted maxillary cuspids with dentigerous cysts displacing the maxillary sinuses in a nonsyndromic patient, a condition that, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported.

A palatal dentigerous cyst arising from a mesiodente.

Dentigerous cysts can develop from unerupted primary, permanent, or rarely supernumerary teeth. When a supernumerary tooth is in the maxilla, near the midline, it is called a mesiodente. Such a mesiodente lies in the palate and a cyst developing about this tooth can extend directly up into the nasal fossae. More commonly a dentigerous cyst arising from unerupted maxillary teeth occurs about the molar, premolar, or canine teeth and the cyst extends up into the maxillary sinus. The CT and MR findings in a rare case of a dentigerous cyst of a mesiodente are presented.
