Radicular cyst is the most common inflammatory odontogenic cystic lesion of the jaws. It usually originates as sequel to a periapical inflammatory process, following chemical, physical or bacterial injury. Due to its chronic etiology, the cyst usually appears in the later stages of life. It has a male sex predilection, with the maxillary anterior region as the most common site of involvement.
