Abstract
Odontogenic cysts are pathological cavities enclosed by fibrous connective tissue and lined with epithelial tissue that develops from odontogenic tissues in the maxilla and mandible's tooth-bearing regions. Trauma or tooth caries is the main cause of radicular cysts or periapical cysts. Pulp necrosis is the outcome of dental caries irritating the pulp cavity. Once the infection has reached the root's tip, it causes periapical periodontitis, which may lead to either a chronic granuloma or an acute abscess. A persistent chronic infection led to the development of a periapical cyst. Radicular cysts are the most prevalent cystic lesions that afflict the jaw. They account for 52% to 68 percent of all cysts affecting the human jaw, making them the most common of all jaw cysts. The paper presents a case report of a 10-year-old pediatric patient who developed a radicular cyst post-trauma and eventually got infected.
