This study reports a rare case of a calcified radicular cyst in a primary tooth. Such cysts are uncommon in deciduous teeth, making this finding significant for pediatric dentistry.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Pediatric Dentistry
Background:
- Radicular cysts (RCs) are common inflammatory odontogenic lesions.
- They arise from epithelial residues in periodontal ligaments due to injury.
- RCs are rare in primary dentition (0.5-3.3% of all RCs).
