Resumo: The buccal bifurcation cyst (BBC) is an inflammatory odontogenic cyst that typically develops on the buccal surface of permanent lower molars in children between the ages of 6 and 15. Clinically, it is characterized by sensitivity, edema, periodontal pocketing, and purulent discharge. The purpose of this study was to report a clinical case of an adolescent female with a buccal bifurcation cyst. The patient presented with swelling in the region of the right mandible, pain on palpation, and the presence of a periodontal abscess with purulent discharge in the region of tooth 47, which had broken through the buccal alveolar bone cortex. Radiographically, a well-defined unilocular radiolucent lesion was associated to the roots of the 47. Enucleation was performed and the pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of BBC. This report contributes to raise awareness of this lesion, which affects young individuals and can be managed surgically with minimal complications.
