Abstract

A dentigerous cyst is a developmental anomaly that surrounds the crown of an unerupted tooth at the cementoenamel junction, often due to fluid accumulation
between the reduced enamel epithelium and enamel. These cysts are usually asymptomatic but can cause discomfort if infected. This report highlights a rare
case of a patient with bilateral dentigerous cysts who underwent bilateral enucleation of the cysts along with the extraction of impacted third molars. The
procedure provided significant pain relief and improved the patient's quality of life, preventing potential future complications.
