title: [Epithelial remnants in the capsule of dentigerous cysts].
abstract: The authors studied 15 cases of dentigerous cysts presenting epithelial remnants in their capsule. Epithelial proliferation, mineralizations and squamous metaplasia and ameloblastomathoid differentiation were observed and analysed in relation to aging and localization. Neoplasic potentiality of the epithelial remnants were discussed and a new denomination were suggested to those lesions that presented ameloblastomathoid differentiation.
