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.
Periapical cysts (also called radicular cysts) are by far the most common cyst occurring in the jaws. [ 5 ] Jaw cysts affect around 3.5% of the population. 10 They are more common in males than females at a ratio of 1.6:1 and most people get them between their 40s and 60s.

The two single-headed arrows point to the CEJ, which is the line separating the crown (in this case, heavily decayed) and the roots.
Early findings of recurrence can be easily treated with minor surgery and curretage. [10] Any fragment of the cyst that is left behind has the potential to survive and grow. Therefore, the success of enucleation depends on how well the cyst is removed. Larger cysts have a higher rate of recurrence after enucleation as they are more difficult to ...

In a study, 14.7% of patients were symptomatic, with pain being the most common symptom and may be associated with osteomyelitis. [2] Other symptoms may include hypoesthesia, paresthesia, and discomfort. [3] In rare instances, patients may experience associated facial swelling with the presence or absence of pain due to concurrent infection. [4]
In addition to periapical abscesses, periapical periodontitis can give rise to various related lesions, including periapical granulomas and cysts. [11] A periapical granuloma (also referred to as an 'apical granuloma' or 'radicular granuloma') is a mass of chronically inflamed granulation tissue that forms at the apex of the root of a nonvital ...
