Abstract

Radicular cyst of jaws is odontogenic in origin. It is a chronic inflammatory response to the epithelial rest of malassez which occurs in the periodontium of affected teeth. Chronic irritation like chronic trauma, microbial infections or chemical injury can predispose to radicular cyst. We present a case of radicular cyst in 28 years old male patient, with brief review of literature and treatment.
