The radicular cyst has been classified as inflammatory cyst, as a consequence to pulpal necrosis following caries, with an associated periapical inflammatory response. Many times it is d ifficult to differentiate radicular cysts from the obligatory pre-existing chronic periapical periodontitis lesions radiographically. This paper presents a case of radicular cyst in the maxillary anterior region.

Radicular cysts are considered rare in the primary dentition, comprising only 0.5 to 3.3% of the total number of radicular cysts in both primary and permanent dentitions. The aim of this case report is to present the clinical, radiographic and histological characteristics of radicular cyst associated with primary central incisor. Extraction and enucleation of the cyst was carried out under loca...

A female patient, 51 years old, complaint of painful swelling on the anatomical area of the upper left lateral incisor. The diagnosis of radicular cyst was confirmed histo-pathologically. Nowadays, radicular cysts may be treated using conventional root canal methods or surgical apicectomy. The possible soft-laser reaction to radicular cysts after contact application has not been investigated. W...

Intra-radicular loss of tooth structure in endodontically treated teeth poses a challenge. Available methods for treatment are cast post-core, intra-radicular resin reinforcement using composite resin followed by placement of prefabricated metal/fibre post (glass or carbon).This study is an attempt to investigate the validity of treatment of such teeth using above methods and evaluate which pos...

Phantom limb pain in amputee patients is not well defined in the literature. Also there is still no clear information on the definition and treatment of phantom radicular pain, in which amputee patients also have radicular pain. This phenomenon, called phantom radiculitis or phantom radiculopathy, has been described in a limited number of cases. If a pathological condition to cause radicular pa...

Radicular cystsare common odontogenic cyst of jaw bone which invariably presents as welldefined radiolucency around the apex of the involved tooth. It is diagnosed on routine radiography or causes a slow growing swelling, limited to apical region of a tooth. Radicular cyst presenting as unusually large maxillary lesions is uncommon. This paper reports two cases of large radicular cyst involving...

Persistence of postoperative radicular pain after surgery for multifocal disc herniation (MFDH) is a clinical problem. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a combined treatment approach compared with unilateral stabilization on early postoperative radicular pain in patients with MFDH.Age, sex, level of operation, clinical findings, and radicular pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores bef...

statement of problem: the aggressive nature and high recurrence rate of odontogenic keratocysts (okcs) may be due to unknown factors inherent in the epithelium or because of enzymatic activity in the fibrous wall. bcl-2 protein is characterized by its ability to inhibit apoptosis. purpose: the aim of the present study was to analyze the expression of bcl-2 protein in okcs and to compare it with...

The maxillofacial region is affected by a greater number of cysts than any other part of the body. Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cystic lesions of inflammatory origin and are managed either by surgical enucleation or by marsupialization. Here a case report is presented of a large radicular cyst that involved over half of palatal region of maxilla. Presentation, diagnosis and m...

BACKGROUND Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is one of the cytokines produced by macrophages, monocytes and dentritc cells. Macrophages are present in apical granuloma and the wall of the radicular cyst. This cytokine causes the cyst expansion and is involved in proliferation of fibroblasts in the cyst wall and stimulate the fibroblasts to produce more prostaglandin. Radicular cyst is the most common cyst o...
