Abstract
Summary The study shows the occurrence of two types of epithelial-lined cavities related to the apical foramen. The incidence of true cysts is low, in our study 8.6%. As our sample size is small, this figure is probably an approximation. From the potential of healing, the true cyst may not heal with nonsurgical endodontic therapy. The bay cysts may heal with nonsurgical endodontic therapy, as they may be extensions of epithelial granulomas and statistically should be listed with them.
