Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Developmental Biology
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Buccal bifurcation cysts are rare developmental cysts.
  • They typically occur in the mandibular molar region.
  • Bilateral occurrence is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 9-year-old patient presented with a slight, bilateral expansion in the mandibular body.
  • The expansion was located bilaterally, corresponding to the first permanent mandibular molars.

Findings:

  • The case confirmed the presence of bilateral buccal bifurcation cysts.
  • This highlights an unusual presentation of a rare condition.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of buccal bifurcation cyst variations.
