Unusually Large Radicular Cyst of Mandible: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

A radicular or periapical cyst or periradicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst mostly seen in mandible. It is mostly symptomless and are found accidently during periapical radiographs involving non-vital pulp which heals spontaneously after endodontic treatment of the aberrant tooth or after extraction. However, recommended treatment is complete enucleation of the cyst to remove all the epithelial remnants. In this article, we report a case of a 18year old female patient with large periapical cyst along with deep bite and attrition.
