Two dentigerous cysts in the mandible of one patient. Case report. 1996

G Smith

This paper reports a case of two separate dentigerous cysts in the mandible of one patient. An unusual feature was the relationship of one of the cysts to an unerupted lateral incisor. The prudence of accounting for any missing teeth in patients and the value of panoramic radiographic screening is illustrated.
