Abstract

Radicular cyst is the most common cyst in the mandible. It usually presents in the later age of life because the formation of the cyst is the last step in a progression of inflammatory events following a periapical inflammatory lesion. The cyst usually goes unnoticed because of the size that is rarely palpable, and it is often painless. In this paper, we present a 12 year-old girl who developed a relatively large cyst for the age. The outline of management is discussed.
