A Study on Sequale of Development and Clinical Features of Radicular Cyst

Abstract

Radicular cysts are the most common cystic lesions affecting the jaws. They are most commonly found at the apices of the involved teeth, however they may also be found on the lateral aspects of the roots in relation to lateral accessory root canals. Quite often a radicular cyst remains behind in the jaws after removal of the offending tooth and this is referred to as a residual cyst. Radicular cysts are the most common of all jaw cysts and comprise about 52% to 68% of all the cysts affecting the human jaws.
