Özet

This article aims to present the clinical, radiological, histological features and diagnostic criteria of mandibular buccal bifurcation cyst (MBBC) while adding two new cases to the literature. In our study, literature search was made on PubMed and Google Scholar. The following words were used for the search: (buccal bifurcation"OR"inflammatory collateral"OR paradental) and cyst. In addition, two cases were presented. The diagnosis of the cases was made by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and histological findings together. Histopathologic features of MBBC is identical to inflammatory odontogenic cysts. Therefore, the diagnosis should be made by the combination of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features. Knowing this entity, especially in childhood, will guide clinicians in protecting the affected tooth while performing cyst treatment in most of the cases.
