Abstract :
Radicular cysts are the most frequent odontogenic cysts of the
jaws. Radicular cysts arising from the primary teeth are very rare and comprise 0.5%
to 3.3% of radicular cysts in both primary and permanent dentitions.
Case Report:In this paper, we report the clinical, radiographical, and histological
characteristics of a radicular cyst associated with a maxillary deciduous first molar.
The treatment plan included extraction and enucleation of the cyst under local anesthesia
after the elevation of a mucoperiosteal flap, which led to satisfactory and
uneventful healing.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis of radicular cysts associated with the primary dentition
allows for a less aggressive treatment plan and prevents adverse effects on the permanent
successor.
