Abstract
Residual radicular cyst is defined as an odontogenic cyst that persists after the associated tooth has been extracted or associated with a previous cyst that is not completely removed. These cysts are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during radiologic examinations of edentulous areas. It is mainly seen in age group between 20-52 years and more common in male. Here, we present a case of residual cyst in relation to 2nd premolar (35), first molar (36) & 2nd molar (37) of the mandible in a 51 years old female patient. OPG & CBCT shows a well-defined unilocular radiolucency with sclerotic borders. There was compression and displacement of the inferior nerve canal towards the lower border of mandible on the left side. The radiolucency measuring measuring approximately 2.5 × 3.5 cm in relation to body of mandible. We also discussed clinical, radiographic, histopathological and therapeutic features of the case with a post-operative follow up to see the recurrence occurs or not.
