INTRODUCTION
The radicular cyst is an inflammatory cyst which results because of the extrusion of infection from pulp into the surrounding periapical tissue.
Radicular cyst is a pathological cavity completely lined by stratified squamous epithelium in an apical peridontal lesion. Prevelance rate ranges from 15 20%
CASE REPORT
Patient aged 21/M reported to department of conservative dentistry and endodontics with the complaint of pain intra oral swelling pus discharge in relation to 11,12. Patient had an history of trauma 2years back
On aspiration yellowish creamy fluid was found, provisionally diagnosied as periapical abscess or any cystic lesion
The excised cystic mass was sent for histo pathological examination which confirms the diagnosis radicular cyst.
DISCUSSION
Radicular cyst is unique because no cyst in the body have similar pathogenesis. It is believed that radicular cyst is formed by the inflammatory proliferation of epithelial cell rest in the inflamed periodontal ligament. A radicular cyst can be a pocket cyst (attached to apical foramen) or a true cyst (no attachment to root structure), but it cannot form by itself.
ETIOLOGY Caries Irritation effect of restorative materials Trauma Pulpal death due to developmental defects
CLINICAL FEATURES Cyst is frequently asymptomatic Incidence male are affected more than females. As cyst enlarges the covering bone become thin in size and exhibit springiness due to fluctuation Involved tooth usually found to be non-vital, discoloured , fractured or failed root canal RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES Appears as rounded, pear or ovoid shaped radiolucency outlined by a narrow radiopaque margin
CONCLUSION
The mechanism of Periapical wound healing after surgical and non-surgical endodontical therapy is similar but the kinetics of wound healing after surgical endodontic therapy is much faster However endodontic surgery is more invasive and proper case selection is more important in endodontic surgery.
