Gurjot Kaur, Ayush Garg

Radicular Cyst is odontogenic cyst of inflammatory origin. This is most commonly associated with root apex of maxillary permanent incisors followed by premolars and molars while seldom seen in deciduous teeth. This exhibits predilection for males more than the females for age group of 30-50 years. Dental caries or trauma cause chronic inflammation of pulp which often travels to forms a periapical inflammation results in stimulation of cell rests of Malassez found in apical periodontal ligament leading to formation of periapical granuloma. This periapical granuloma which may be sterile or secondarily infected, can transform to periapical cyst due to lack of nutritional supply. Histologically, the epithelial lining is recognized as stratified squamous epithelium present in arcading pattern. Peculiar shaped hyaline bodies aka Rushton bodies are found within the cystic epithelium lining which are amorphous, eosinophilic and typically described as lady’s hairpin shaped structures. Treatment of such cases involves conventional as well as surgical approach.
