Radicular Cyst (Periapical Cyst): A Case Report

Abstract: Radicular cyst is one of the most common odontogenic cyst found in the jaws. It is inflammatory in nature and found mostly in the nonvital tooth. It usually presents at a later stage in life because the formation of the cyst is the last step in the progression of inflammatory events after a periapical infection. This present case was with swelling, and the cyst was removed surgically under local anesthesia. Based on histopathological findings, it was diagnosed as a radicular cyst.

“…The most common causes of the development of radicular cysts are inflammation due to trauma, dental caries, or a failed root canal therapy which ultimately results in the affected tooth becoming non-vital. Persistent chronic infection of the non-vital pulp may initiate the development of a periapical cyst (2,5). In this case, the patient reported having undergone root canal treatment 1 year before, which unfortunately failed, making it the likely cause of the cyst.…”

“…Radicular cysts are the most prevalent cystic lesions occurring in relation to teeth usually resulting from chronic infection of the tooth (1). Approximately 50-70% off all the cysts occurring either in maxilla or in mandible are found be radicular cysts (2)(3)(4). The anterior region of the maxilla and the premolar region of the mandible are more prone to development of radicular cysts than the other parts of the jaw (1).…”
