A Compound Odontoma Associated With Radicular Cyst - A Rare Case Report

Radicular cysts rarely impact the primary dentition. Apical infections in primary molar teeth accounted for the majority of cases. However, there is relatively modest data about radicular cysts related to primary incisors and its association with compound odontoma. Case Report: An 11-year-old boy presented with a history of trauma to the left upper anterior teeth region. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed the presence of a compound odontoma associated with a radicular cyst. The cystic lesion appeared to be linked to a previously traumatized tooth. Surgical management involved the removal of the compound odontoma along with enucleation of the radicular cyst under local anaesthesia. Conclusion: Since the majority of radicular cysts of primary teeth go undetected and potentially harm the growing succedaneous tooth bud, it is critical that paediatric patients receive the proper diagnosis and treatment for better outcome of succedaneous tooth.
