Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cyst arising from epithelial cell rests of Malassez in the periodontal ligament and proliferate peripherally as a result of inflammation caused...

Radicular cysts are inflammatory odontogenic cysts of tooth bearing areas of the jaws. Most of these lesions involve the apex of offending tooth and appear as well-defined radiolucencies.

Jul 1, 2024 · Panoramic (panorex) radiograph, intraoral film or cross sectional imaging may be useful depending on cyst location, lesion size and the need to evaluate additional parameters (J Clin Med 2023;12:4647)

Oct 24, 2024 · Periapical cysts, also known as radicular cysts, are the most frequent cystic lesion related to teeth (see mandibular lesions) and result from infection of the tooth. On imaging, they generally appear as a round- or pear-shaped, unilocular, lucent lesion in the periapical region, usually measuring <1 cm.

Aug 1, 2023 · Radicular cysts require surgical removal while root canal treatment is the first-line treatment for periapical granulomas. Therefore, an automated tool to aid clinical decision making is needed. A deep learning framework was developed using panoramic images of 80 radicular cysts and 72 periapical granulomas located in the mandible.

On intraoral examination, a single swelling was seen in the upper left anterior jaw region associated with 22-24, measuring approximately 2.5 x 2 cm. The shape was roughly oval with a smooth surface, diffused margins, soft consistency, and tenderness was absent (Figure 2).

Figure showing the clinical extraoral profile and intraoral picture of a middle aged male patient with radicular cyst: 1a) Front profile of the patient showing facial asymmetry due to swelling over left lower one-third of face (Red arrow); 1b) Figure showing the asymmetry on the left side of face due to swelling (Red arrow); 1c) Intraoral ...

Mar 1, 2023 · In radiographic images, radicular cyst is manifesting as a round or oval unilocular radiolucency in the area of the apexes of the causal teeth, and a radiopaque sclerotic margin, that may be blurred in cysts with high growth dynamics [4].

Jun 1, 2024 · The radicular cyst is the most common inflammatory odontogenic cyst, typically arising in the periapical region due to endodontic infection. However, it can also manifest laterally to the root, mimicking the presentation of a lateral periodontal cyst.

Although radicular cysts typically do not exhibit any symptoms, they are often visible on intraoral radiographs in the periapical zone of non-vital teeth. Primary molar cysts are primarily seen within the furcation area as well as around the roots, whereas cysts in permanent teeth are usually seen surrounding the apex in the periapical area.
