Abstract: Central cusp deformity is a type of non-carious dental hard tissue disease characterized by abnormal tooth morphology. Periapical cysts, resulting from central cusp deformity fractures, are commonly observed and can serve as indicators for the occurrence and progression of its lesions. Developmental odontogenic cysts are pathological cavities in the epithelial lining caused by abnormalities in tooth development and/or eruption. The tissue origin and pathogenesis of developmental odontogenic cysts remain poorly understood, with many theories still based on speculation. The present study presents a case of bilateral mandibular deformity with central apex, accompanied by radicular cysts on one side and developmental odontogenic cysts on the other side.

Key words: mandibular bone, central cusp deformity, radicular cysts, developmental odontogenic cyst
