The most frequent cystic lesions affecting the jaws are radicular cysts, which present radiographically as an oval or pear-shaped unilocular radiolucency in the periapical region. Radicular cysts are usually asymptomatic. This case study describes the surgical treatment of a radicular cyst involving two maxillary anterior teeth. The diagnosis of radicular cyst was confirmed through a clinical and radiographic evaluation. An apicoectomy was performed, and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) was placed as the apical barrier. This case report illustrates the effective surgical management of an extensive infected radicular cyst.

Ki67 as a proliferation marker: a study on odontogenic keratocysts and radicular cysts.

Ki67 as a proliferation marker plays a critical role in assessing cellular activity in various pathological tissues, including cystic lesions. Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) and radicular cysts (RCs) are two common types of jaw cysts that exhibit distinct biological behaviors, particularly in their proliferative patterns. OKCs are known for their aggressive nature and high recurrence rate, while RCs are typically less aggressive and exhibit lower recurrence risk.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate bacteriome profiles (diversity, composition and relative abundances of bacterial genera) of the fluids from apical periodontitis (AP)-related radicular cysts (RCs).
Methodology: This observational study included 29 patients with AP and RC with complete sample triplets (supragingival plaque, cryopulverized tooth and cystic fluid). The bacteriome profiles of each matrix as well as of negative controls (NCs) were examined using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing.
ZEB1 expression in Th17 cells correlated with p-STAT3 in human apical periodontitis.

Background: ZEB1, a zinc-finger E homeobox-binding transcription factor most frequently associated with developmental programs linked to epithelial-mesenchymal transition, has been demonstrated to regulate immune cell function. The study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of ZEB1 in Th17 cells and its colocalization with p-STAT3 in human apical periodontitis lesions.
Methods: Thirty-nine human periapical tissues were collected for ex vivo study, including periapical granulomas (PGs, n = 14), radicular cysts (RCs, n = 12), and healthy control tissues (control group, n = 13).

Unlabelled: An inflammatory radicular cyst (IRC) is an odontogenic cyst associated to a non-vital tooth, which may affect sound teeth. There is lack of consensus on whether to perform endodontic treatment on teeth involved in the extension of the lesion prior to surgical treatment.
Aim: To identify and quantify the therapies most often used on teeth with positive response to pulp tests that are involved in the extension of an IRC, and analyze the criteria upon which different authors based their decisions.
