Abstract

The most common odontogenic cystic lesions of inflammatory origin affecting the jaws are the radicular cysts. Apices of the involved teeth are the most common site. Epithelial remnants stimulated to proliferate by an inflammatory process originating from pulpal necrosis of a non-vital tooth leads to arising of a radicular cyst. In this case report we present the complete and successful surgical treatment of a large infected radicular cyst which involves the entire body region of Mandibular teeth region of right side along with histopathological features.
