Radicular Cyst — Prevention

The most common odontogenic cyst, arising at the apex of a non-vital tooth

Prevention

  • Prompt treatment of carious teeth before pulp involvement
  • Timely endodontic treatment of non-vital teeth
  • Regular radiographic monitoring of previously endodontically treated teeth
  • Complete removal of cystic tissue when extracting non-vital teeth
  • Follow-up radiographs after root canal treatment to ensure periapical healing
