Core Tip

Core Tip: The radicular cyst is a lesion of odontogenic origin whose therapeutic management is controversial. However, the present clinical case describes the management of a radicular cyst using a microsurgical approach, and the performance of an apicoectomy of the tooth associated with the entity, followed by the guided tissue regeneration technique, implementation of a resorbable type I bovine collagen membrane, and bovine xenograft. The diagnosis was based on clinical findings that were confirmed with histopathology analysis. This case underlines the importance of clinical, periapical radiographic, and cone-beam computed tomography evaluation as guides for an accurate diagnosis in order to enhance the development of an appropriate treatment plan for a radicular cyst.
