Summary
This case report details multiple radicular cysts in an 8-year-old, emphasizing early diagnosis and management in pediatric dentistry. Treatment involved deciduous tooth extraction, cyst enucleation, and monitoring permanent tooth eruption.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Endodontics
Background:
- Multiple radicular cysts are rare in the mixed dentition period.
- Management requires careful assessment of deciduous and permanent teeth.
- This report presents a case in an 8-year-old with no significant medical history.
Observation:
- An 8-year-old presented with pain in the lower front and upper back teeth.
- Panoramic radiography revealed multiple radiolucencies.
- Diagnosis was confirmed as multiple radicular cysts via clinical presentation, radiography, and aspiration cytology.
Findings:
- Treatment included extraction of affected deciduous teeth and enucleation of cysts.
- Whitehead's varnish was used as a dressing.
- Follow-up showed resolution of radiolucencies and successful eruption of permanent teeth.
Implications:
- Managing radicular cysts in mixed dentition is complex.
- Preserving the vitality of permanent teeth is crucial.
