Abstract
Challenges in the diagnosis and surgical management of asymptomatic radicular cysts: a case report
Introduction: A radicular cyst is an asymptomatic odontogenic cyst that originates from the abnormal proliferation of epithelial rests of Malassez in the periapical area of a non-vital tooth. Radicular cysts are often discovered incidentally during radiographic examination. Histopathological analysis is essential to establish a definitive diagnosis. Surgical management aims to prevent recurrence and promote tissue regeneration. This case report aims to describe the challenges in diagnosing and surgically managing an asymptomatic radicular cyst that was incidentally discovered in a patient with controlled hypertension and a history of using dentures fabricated by a dental technician. Case report: A female patient presented to replace her existing denture, which had been in use for five years and was fabricated by a dental technician. Intraoral examination revealed retained roots in the anterior maxillary region. Radiographic evaluation showed a well-defined radiolucent area measuring approximately 1.5 mm × 2 mm in the periapical region of teeth 21 and 22. A transalveolar extraction procedure was performed to remove the remaining roots of teeth 21 and 22, followed by cyst enucleation and curettage at the periapical site. The tissue was sent to the laboratory for histopathological examination, which supported the diagnosis of a radicular cyst. A hemostatic agent was placed in the dead space to control bleeding and facilitate tissue healing. Suturing was performed using the simple interrupted technique with 4.0 silk sutures. A follow-up appointment was scheduled two weeks postoperatively to remove the sutures, and the patient reported no complaints during the visit. Conclusion: Comprehensive clinical, radiographic, and histopathological examinations are essential for establishing the diagnosis of a radicular cyst. Surgical treatment with cyst enucleation aims to prevent recurrence. Appropriate postoperative management helps minimize complications.
