Abstract
Dentigerous cyst is the most common developmental odontogenic cyst of the jaws that encloses the crown of an unerupted tooth; however, involvement of more than one unerupted tooth in a single dentigerous cyst is extremely rare. In this report, we present a rare case of a single dentigerous cyst associated with the imapcted mandibular permanent canines. Literature is briefly reviewed and etiopathogenesisis hypothesized.
