periapical cyst
cystis radicularis latin

Usually, the periapical cyst is asymptomatic, but a secondary infection can cause pain.

It is distinguished from a periapical cyst by the fact that adjacent teeth are vital.

Radicular cyst (associated with the roots of non-vital teeth, also known as Periapical cyst)

Rarefying osteitis is a general term for a radiolucent lesion on a radiograph usually diagnosed as a periapical abscess or a periapical cyst.

The periapical cyst (also termed Radicular cyst, and to a lesser extent Dental cyst) is the most common odontogenic cyst.

Periapical cyst (The periapical cyst, otherwise known as radicular cyst, is the most common odontogenic cyst.)

It is also known as Periapical Cyst, Apical Periodontal Cyst, Root End Cyst or Dental Cyst.

Today, most literature agree based on overwhelming evidence that the cyst is predominantly of tooth origin (odontogenic), demonstrating findings consistent with periapical cysts, odontogenic keratocysts or lateral periodontal cysts.

Periapical periodontitis may develop into a periapical abscess, where a collection of pus forms at the end of the root, the consequence of spread of infection from the tooth pulp (odontogenic infection), or into a periapical cyst, where an epithelial lined, fluid filled structure forms.
