Dentigerous cyst or Radicular cyst?

Abstract

Radicular cysts arising from deciduous teeth are remarkably rare. This article presents a case report of radicular cyst associated with an endodontically treated deciduous second molar. Clinical and radiographic features were consistent with the dentigerous cyst. The cystic lesion was surgically enucleated under local anesthesia. But, histopathologically findings confirmed a final diagnosis of the radicular cyst. The case report highlights the unusual presentation of a radicular cyst associated with deciduous teeth, which clinically and radiographically mimicked a dentigerous cyst.
