Extraction Management of Gangrene Radix with Radicular Cyst

Abstract

Introduction: Radicular cysts are the most common type of cyst found in the teeth and mouth are associated with pulp necrosis and tooth root canal infections. Treatment that can be done for radicular cysts consists of surgical and non-surgical treatments, treatments such as tooth extraction. This case report describes the results of managing tooth root extraction with a radicular cyst. Case Report: A 22-year-old woman complained that her lower right back tooth had root residue. Objective examination revealed that her two roots remain, mesial and distal to tooth 46 Percussion (-) and palpation (+) revealed an asymptomatic, firm consistency, nodular lesion 1 cm in size. Radiographic examination showed a radiolucent area on tooth 46 with a clear and firm base in the shape of a semicircle measuring ± 1 cm. Case management: The tooth was extracted using a technique called infiltration anesthesia. Conclusion: Establishing a good and correct diagnosis in cases of radicular cysts can provide appropriate treatment for patients by knowing the characteristics of the lesion. Tooth extraction with optimal elimination of infected tissue is one of the treatments that can be carried out in radicular cysts
