RESUMEN
Dentigerous cysts are one of the common cysts of the jaws. Bilateral dentigerous cysts generally occur in association with a developmental syndrome or systemic diseases. Bilateral dentigerous cyst in absence of a syndrome is rare and to date only 18 cases have been reported. After reviewing the literature, no case reports of dentigerous cysts involving all the quadrants of the jaws were reported. As far as our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported.
RESUMEN
Myiasis, a term first introduced by Hope (1840), refers to the invasion of tissues and organs of animals and human wounds and certain body cavities by the dipteran larvae which manifests as subcutaneous furunculoid or boillike lesions. Oral myiasis is a rare pathology and a risk to the patient's life. Higher incidence is seen in rural areas affecting the tropical and sub-tropical zones of Africa and America. Myiasis affecting the oro-dental complex is rare. Here is a case report of oral myiasis in an 18-year-old male patient who is mentally challenged with anterior open bite, incompetent lips, and periodontal disease. The lesion was treated with turpentine oil, which forced larvae out and irrigated with normal saline solution. Follow-up examination revealed complete remission and healing of the lesion.
