Fulltext PDFA cyst is a pathological cavity that may or may not be lined by epithelium, and is always filled with fluid or semifluid material but not pus. Cysts are classified as developmental or odontogenic cysts based on their aetiology. Radicular cysts are odontogenic in origin as per classification by WHO. Radicular cysts (apical periodontal cyst, dental root end cyst) are the most common inflammatory odontogenic cysts of tooth bearing areas of the jaws. They originate from an epithelial rest of Malassez which are present in periodontal ligaments and these cells are provoked by inflammation. Radicular cyst is most frequently found at the apex of the involved tooth with infected or necrotic pulps; however, they may also be found on the lateral aspects of the roots in relation to accessory root canals. Usually apical periodontal cyst occur between 3rd and 6th decade of life with male predominance. Clinically, the lesion is usually small and asymptomatic but at times may exhibit mild pain and sensitivity to percussion.1Small sized radicular cysts are mostly treated conservatively while large sized are usually treated surgically by enucleation. Sometimes extraction of involved tooth with hopeless prognosis is also advocated with cyst removal. The cystic wall must be totally enucleated to remove all epithelial remnants to prevent recurrence of the lesion. The present case report documents a case of radicular cyst in the anterior maxilla.
