RADICULAR CYST: A REPORT OF TWO CASES

Abstract

The maxillofacial region is affected by more cysts than any other part of the body. They are the most common odontogenic cyst of inflammatory origin. Radicular cysts are usually asymptomatic, hence they are often discovered incidentally on routine radiographs as round, well corticated radiolucency at the apex of root. However, the clinical and radiographic picture may vary. This is a report of two cases of radicular cyst, with different clinical and radiographic features necessitating different lines of treatment.
