Abstract
|
|
|
|
A periodontal cyst is formed from epithelial rests or remnants in the periodontal membrane. These cysts are all of inflammatory origin. The usual location is at the apex of the tooth, where they are termed radicular cysts, but they also maybe formed along the lateral surface and then termed lateral periodontal cysts. Cysts of inflammatory nature in edentulous areas are termed residual cysts. These result from incomplete surgical removal of pathological tissue at the time an infected tooth is extracted. Our case is radicular cyst that originated from left maxillary first premolar. We report a case of large radicular cyst in left maxillary area.
