Swelling can be observed in the right cheek. Periapical cysts begin as asymptomatic and progress slowly. Subsequent infection of the cyst causes swelling and pain. Initially, the cyst swells to a round hard protrusion, but later on the body resorbs some of the cyst wall, leaving a softer accumulation of fluid underneath the mucous membrane.
After treatments, the patient should be informed of the risk of recurrence. Some people are more susceptible than others. This can be due to their oral and dental condition or inherited condition. [10] In some cases, there are some cysts remain after the surgery called the residual cysts and most of them arise from a periapical cyst. Glandular ...

Dental abscess; Other names: Dentoalveolar abscess, periapical abscess, tooth abscess, root abscess: A decayed, broken down tooth, which has undergone pulpal necrosis.A periapical abscess (i.e. around the apex of the tooth root) has then formed and pus is draining into the mouth via an intraoral sinus ().
Radiographically they can be seen as unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies. They can be mistaken for other cysts such as residual cysts or a dentigerous cyst if they occur over an unerupted tooth. [8] Relative incidence of odontogenic cysts. [9] Odontogenic keratocyst is labeled at bottom right.
Periapical COD occurs most commonly in the mandibular anterior teeth while focal COD appears predominantly in the mandibular posterior teeth. Florid COD is an extensive variant of periapical COD where lesions occur in multiple quadrants which can encompass the maxilla and mandible, and infrequently can cause jawbone deformity.
In 1928, Bloch-Jorgensen [10] suggested that the overlying necrotic deciduous tooth is the origin of all dentigerous cysts. The resultant periapical inflammation might spread to involve the follicle of the unerupted permanent successor, an inflammatory exudate ensued with resultant dentigerous cyst formation.
Periapical granuloma, [1] also sometimes referred to as a radicular granuloma or apical granuloma, is an inflammation at the tip of a dead (nonvital) tooth. It is a lesion or mass that typically starts out as an epithelial lined cyst, and undergoes an inward curvature that results in inflammation of granulation tissue at the root tips of a dead tooth.
