Description
Traumatic injuries commonly affect the anterior teeth leading to slow death of the pulp. This may give rise to a
periapical or radicular cyst which results from the proliferation of cell rests of Malassez following pulpal necrosis of a non-
vital tooth. This condition is usually asymptomatic but can result in a slow-growth tumefaction in the affected region. On
radiography the lesion can be seen as a round or oval, well circumscribed radiolucent area involving the apex of the
infected tooth. Nonsurgical management should be the treatment of choice of a periapical cyst. However, periapical
surgery can be considered, if the lesion is extensive and fails to respond to a nonsurgical approach
