  1. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    • Commonly known as a dental cyst, the periapical cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst. It may develop rapidly from a periapical granuloma, as a consequence of untreated chronic periapical periodontitis. Periapical is defined as "the tissues surrounding the apex of the root of a tooth" and a cyst is "a pathological cavity lined by epithelium, having flu… See more

    Signs and symptoms

    Periapical cysts begin as asymptomatic and progress slowly. Subsequent infection of the cyst causes swelling … See more

    Causes

    Dental cysts are usually caused due to root infection involving tooth decay. Untreated dental caries then allow bacteria to reach the level of the pulp, causing infection. The bacteria gains access to the periapical region of th… See more

    Mechanisms

    Periapical cysts develop due to an inflammatory stimulus in 3 stages:
    1. Initial stage: Epithelial cells from the rests of Malassez at the apex of the roots of a non-vital tooth (one where the nerve and blood suppl… See more

     
  1. Periapical cysts result from infection of the tooth, which spreads to the apex and into the adjacent bone. This leads to apical periodontitis, granuloma formation and eventual cyst formation. These cysts are therefore centered on the apex of the tooth and tend to be small, most <1 cm.

    Periapical cysts, also known as radicular cysts, are the most frequent cystic lesion related to teeth (see mandibular lesions) and result from infection of the tooth. On imaging, they generally appear as a round- or pear-shaped, unilocular, lucent lesion in the periapical region, usually measuring <1 cm.

    Periapical cyst: Also known as a radicular cyst, this is the most common oral cyst that occurs around the apices of a nonvital tooth and mostly around anterior maxillary teeth. 1,2 It is mostly asymptomatic, and radiographically a unilocular, well-defined radiolucency at the apex of the tooth is present. 1 If the cyst is not treated properly, it can lead to a residual cyst. 1,4 The treatment consists of tooth and cyst removal.

    A periapical cyst, which is often referred to as a cyst in the area surrounding or beneath a tooth root, is a common type of cyst that affects the mouth area. These cysts form when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected, typically due to dental decay, injury, or past dental treatments.
