A RARE CASE OF RADICULAR CYST ASSOCIATED WITH DILACERATED AND IMPACTED MAXILLARY CENTRAL INCISOR

Аннотация

Radicular cysts are common odontogenic cysts that usually develop from the epithelial remnants of the dental pulp following pulp necrosis. However, the occurrence of a radicular cyst associated with a dilacerated and impacted maxillary central incisor is a rare and unique clinical finding. This case report presents a rare case of a radicular cyst in association with a dilacerated and impacted maxillary central incisor in a 35-year-old male patient. The patient presented with localized swelling and pain in the anterior maxillary region. Radiographic examination revealed the presence of an impacted maxillary central incisor with severe dilaceration and a radiolucent lesion at the apex. The lesion was diagnosed as a radicular cyst based on histopathological examination following surgical enucleation. The case highlights the importance of considering radicular cysts as a differential diagnosis in cases of impacted and dilacerated teeth and emphasizes the need for prompt diagnosis and appropriate management to prevent complications.
