Abstract
Management of Radicular Cyst of Primary Molar: Case Report & Literature Review
Highlights
There are various inflammatory lesions seen in the oral cavity of children [1]
Radicular cysts are odontogenic in origin and rare in the primary dentition, representing only 0.5 to 3.3% of the total number of radicular cysts in both the primary and permanent dentition [2]
The treatment options for radicular cyst include: endodontic therapy with or without cyst removal, tooth extraction and cyst enucleation or for larger lesions, marsupialization followed by cyst enucleation
Summary
Radicular cysts are odontogenic in origin and rare in the primary dentition, representing only 0.5 to 3.3% of the total number of radicular cysts in both the primary and permanent dentition [2] These cysts are derived from the remnants of the epithelial root sheath (epithelial cell rests of Malassez) [3]. Most radicular cyst are asymptomatic and are discovered when radiographs are taken of the teeth with non-vital pulps. The treatment options for radicular cyst include: endodontic therapy with or without cyst removal, tooth extraction and cyst enucleation or for larger lesions, marsupialization followed by cyst enucleation.
