Radicular cysts (RC) of dental origin are slow-growing lesions which are asymptomatic in most of the cases. The management of RCs is still existing over a debate. Therefore, we present a study of nonsurgical management of pathological cysts of dental origin.
To study the success of non-surgical management of patients presenting with pathological cysts of dental origin in terms of healing and recurrence.
Prospective study was done in 25 patients presenting with pain and swelling in the Department of conservative and endodontics for a period of 2 years. The cystic cavity was opened and drained using various methods such as decompression, aspiration-irrigation, placement of intracanal Ca (OH)2 and lesion sterilization.
The success rate of nonsurgical treatment was 80 % while 12% of cases presented with recurrence and 8% of cases had delayed healing.
Follow-up and assessment of healing are essential after nonsurgical treatment of the cysts. The surgical approach is used for cases which are refractory to nonsurgical method.
