Abstract
The radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst which is caused by pulpal inflammation, pulp death, and secondary to trauma or dental caries. Usually, the radicular cyst is asymptomatic, but a secondary inflammation can cause pain, swelling and redness. Getting larger, the radicular cyst can cause facial asymmetry and paresthesia by pressure on nerves. It requires conservative endodontic treatment or surgical approach. When the size of cyst is large or invasion of the adjacent tissue is not expected, cyst enucleation is carried out. And most of the case can be completely cured and shows low recurrence. In these radicular cysts cases, by cyst enucleation or apicoectomy after root canal treatment simultaneously, the infected teeth can be preserved successfully.
Key Words: Radicular cyst, Endodontic treatment, Cyst enucleation
