Metachronous bilateral dentigerous cysts associated with permanent first molars.
The occurrence of bilateral dentigerous cysts (DC) has been described as being associated mostly with third molars in adult patients. Very few reports show the bilateral occurrence of dentigerous cysts associated with first molars or premolars in childhood. The purpose of this report was to describe the case of a 5-year-old boy with bilateral mandibular dentigerous cysts associated with permanent first molars.
