ABSTRACT
Dentigerous cysts (DC), typically associated with the crowns of unerupted or developing teeth, are rare occurrences in the absence of impacted teeth. This case report presents an unusual instance of a DC in the mandible of a 25-year-old female with no impacted teeth. This case underscores the necessity for thorough diagnostic evaluation in the presence of mandibular cystic lesions, even when conventional etiological factors, such as impacted teeth, are absent. The report aims to enhance the understanding of atypical presentations of DC and their management in clinical practice.
