Dentigerous cyst belongs to one kind of odontogenic cysts, and is also known as follicular cyst. After the formation of the crown or root of the tooth, liquid exudates between the residual enamel epithelium and the crown surface to form odontogenic cysts. Multiple odontogenic cysts are rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions, especially in different areas of the jaw. In this paper, we reported case with multiple odontogenic cysts and discussed its etiology,pathological classification,differential diagnosis and treatment.
