Abstract

Radicular cysts are one of the most common odontogenic cysts. Radicular cysts are usually asymptomatic and are left unnoticed until detected by routine radiographic examination. They originate as a result of inflammation due to pulp necrosis or trauma. The purpose of this report was to study about the treatment of radicular cyst. In the case report presented, the 16-year-old male visited the dentist with chief complaint of pain and swelling gum at upper right anterior tooth, which he had been suffering for nearly two years as a result of an accident. Radiographic examination revealed radiolucency around an apex of tooth #11 and 12. The tooth was treated by endodontic treatment and enucleation. Subsequently, the patient had follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months and the success of the treatment was evident both clinically and radiographically during the follow-up period.
