Radicular Cyst of The anterior Maxilla: An Insight into the Most Common Inflammatory Cyst of the Jaws

Abstract: Radicular cyst is believed to be derived from the epithelial cell rests of Malassez. The associated tooth is nonvital, usually asymptomatic, and may result in swelling, tenderness, tooth mobility, or other problems with rare possibility of neoplastic transformation of its epithelial lining. The treatment options include endodontic procedure, extraction of offending tooth, enucleation with primary closure, and marsupialization. The present report describes the case of a radicular cyst of anterior maxillary regi… Show more

“…Male to female ratio in the radicular cyst is 1.6:1, which was consistent in our case report being reported in a male patient. 9,10 The usual radiographic appearance of a radicular cyst is documented as a radiolucent, welldefined cortical border with a size of a lesion more than 2 cm in diameter. 2 This rare case of the radicular cyst with calcification has a size of 2.5 cm × 3 cm.…”
