radicular cyst

Quite often there may be more than one radicular cyst.

Pain & infection are other clinical features of some radicular cysts.

Radicular cysts are found at root apices of involved teeth.

Radicular cysts are by far the most common cyst occurring in the jaws.

Whenever an infection is present, Actinomyces organisms have been isolated from radicular cyst.

Radicular cysts arising from deciduous tooth are very rare.

Scientists believe that there are cyst prone individuals who show particular susceptibility to develop radicular cysts.

Inflammatory origin i. Radicular cyst, apical and lateral ii.

Radicular Cyst is the most common odontogenic cystic lesion of inflammatory origin.

It is often difficult to differentiate radiologically between radicular cysts and apical granulomas.

Radicular cyst is the most common (up to two thirds of all cysts of the jaws).

Radiologic presentation of Radicular Cyst is given in detail as follows:

For example, small radicular cyst may resolved after succsseful endodontic ("root-canal") treatment.

Peripheral lesions including radicular cysts are eliminated by body once the causative agents are removed.

Internal structure--- in most cases, internal structure of radicular cyst is radiolucent.

The outline of radicular cyst usually is curved or circular unless it is influenced by surrounding structures such as cortical boundaries.

Majority of radicular cysts can undergo resolutions following Root Canal Treatment & don't require surgical intervenation.

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

Effects on surrounding structures--- If a radicular cyst is large, displacement and resorption of roots of adjacent teeth may occur.

Investigators found that fluids of Radicular cysts have Gamma Globulin level High by almost more than half to patient's own serum.

Since the dentigerous cyst develops from follicular epithelium it has more potential for growth, differentiation and degeneration than a radicular cyst.

It is considered that these cell rests proliferate to form epithelial lining of various odontogenic cysts such as radicular cyst under the influence of various stimuli.

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

Smaller radicular cysts are usually symptomless and may be discovered when intraoral periapical (IOPA) radiographs are taken of non-vital teeth.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma or Epidermoid Carcinoma may occasionally arise from epithelial lining of Radicular Cyst.
