AI Article Synopsis

  • Radicular cysts associated with deciduous teeth are very uncommon, making up less than 1% of all radicular cyst cases, with only 122 cases reported in English literature.
  • A specific case is presented involving a radicular cyst linked to a decayed maxillary molar, with no previous pulp treatment noted.
  • The goal is to highlight the importance of identifying inflammatory lesions in deciduous teeth, as they can negatively affect the developing permanent teeth beneath them.

Article Abstract

Radicular cyst arising from deciduous teeth is exceedingly rare accounting for <1% of all radicular cysts. A total of 122 cases have been reported to date in the English language literature. We present a rare case of a radicular cyst associated with a decayed deciduous maxillary molar tooth without any history of prior pulp therapy. Our aim is to emphasize the recognition of inflammatory radicular lesions associated with deciduous teeth which may adversely impact underlying permanent successor.
