title: Dentigerous cyst in a child associated with multiple inverted supernumerary teeth: a rare occurrence.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Dentigerous cysts associated with supernumerary teeth are rare with most of them developing around a mesiodens in the anterior maxilla. Dentigerous cysts from multiple supernumerary teeth, especially with inverted tooth, are rare in other regions of the maxilla.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a unique case of a dentigerous cyst in a child associated with multiple inverted supernumerary teeth and relevant review of literarature.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dentigerous cyst arising from multiple supernumerary teeth and not anterior maxillary mesiodens is quite uncommon. In a child, such findings associated with inverted tooth are still rare. Such cysts should be managed by excision as soon as possible.
