ABSTRACT
entre os cistos odontogênicos, temos o cisto radicular, considerado uma lesão frequentemente encontrada nos maxilares, associado ao ápice de um dente com necrose pulpar. Frequentemente, são assintomáticos, apresentam crescimento lento e são descobertos em radiografias de rotina. No presente estudo, é relatado um caso de um paciente de 55 anos com dois cistos radiculares, sendo um com aproximadamente 4 X 2 cm associado a raiz residual na região molares inferiores do lado direito e outro com aproximadamente 1,7 x 1,3 cm associado à raiz residual na região de pré-molares inferiores do lado esquerdo. Foram feitas as exodontias e as remoções cirúrgicas dos cistos. O exame histopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico clínico.
among the odontogenic lesions, radicular cysts are frequently found in the jaws and are associated with the apex of a tooth with necrotic pulp. They are often asymptomatic, of slow growth, and are diagnosed on routine radiographs. This case report presents two radicular cysts in a 55-year-old patient. One of the cysts measured approximately 4 x 2 cm and was associated with a residual root in the right mandibular molar area. The other cyst measured approximately 1.7 x 1.3 cm and was associated with a residual root in the left mandibular premolar area. The residual roots and cysts were surgically removed. Histopathological examination of the lesions confirmed the clinical diagnosis.
