Radicular cyst associated with primary molar: Surgical intervention and space management

Surgical enucleation of radicular cyst in endodontically treated primary mandibular molar

“…This procedure is undertaken to reduce the chances of recurrence and does not hamper the succedeneous tooth. Also, young growing individuals have high propensity for bone regeneration, leading to faster healing of the postsurgical osseous defects 7. Marsupialisation on the other hand is a more conservative surgical intervention undertaken to prevent damage to neighbouring anatomical structures.…”

Infected Dentigerous Cyst of Maxillary Sinus Mimicking Intraoral Abscess in a Pediatric Patient: Management of Misdiagnosis and Inaccurate Treatment

“…In the decompression method, a window in the cyst wall is created and a small acrylic device with a projectile is made to prevent the opening from closing. This results in a decrease of size of the cyst by internal pressure reduction and enables the enucleation to follow [ 13 ]. These two methods cannot be used in the area of maxillary sinuses for obvious reasons (e.g., chronic sinusitis).…”

Massive Radicular Cyst in the Maxillary Sinus as a Result of Deciduous Molar Tooth Pulp Necrosis

“…A radicular cyst is usually associated with carious, nonvital, or fractured tooth [4,5]. In addition, some authors pay attention also to root canal-treated deciduous teeth using gutta-percha as a root canal filling or formocresol as a medication under temporary filling [6,7]. Despite the fact that it is mostly connected with permanent teeth, it sometimes develops also in the area of deciduous teeth.…”

“…The present report showed that preservation of the permanent teeth is not always possible which depends on the extent of the lesion and tooth germ location. Alternative treatment that can be used to manage massive cysts of the jaws includes marsupialization of the cystic lesion and using an appliance with projection for decompressing the lesion [ 2 , 7 ]. The postoperative period is very demanding in this case which excludes the use of this method in small, often-noncooperating children, as was in the described case in [ 7 ].…”

The undeniable advantage of this method is its more conservative nature, increasing the chance of saving permanent tooth germs, but the absolute condition of its implementation is full patient cooperation.…”
