Sumario:Impacted teeth may not only interfere with function, but also can act as a source of many pathological lesions such as odontogenic cysts and tumors. One of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts associated with erupted, developing or impacted tooth is dentigerous cyst. Multiple impacted teeth with dentigerous cysts in both the maxillary and mandibular arches without the association of any syndromes is a very rare occurrence. In the present article, we report such a non-syndrome case of bilateral multiple impacted teeth in both maxilla and mandible with dentigerous cysts treated with enucleation and ridge augmentation with autogenous bone graft harvested from posterior iliac region. Further, dental rehabilitation was carried out with dentures.
