[Clinical and radiological control examinations after cyst surgery in the permanent juvenile dentition]

The present study involves 23 patients with 25 cysts whose conditions were assessed postoperatively by means of clinical and radiological criteria. The radicular and follicular cysts were most frequently located in the anterior region of the upper jaw. With 17.4% of the total number of bone cysts, the percentage of cysts on juvenile permanent teeth is relatively low. Teeth that did not respond to irritants were the most frequent complication in the operating area. Nevertheless, the clinical and radiological findings tell against the non-vitality of these teeth.
