Abstract

Radicular cysts are usually encountered in association with permanent teeth; however, occurrence in relation to deciduous teeth seems to be very rare. Caries is the most frequent etiological factor of radicular cysts in the primary dentition. The early diagnosis and treatment relates to the success of such cases. Here, we present a rare case of radicular cyst associated with primary mandibular second molar. The preferred treatment for this case was marsupialization followed by band and loop space maintainer.
