Abstract: Radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cystic lesion of inflammatory origin. It is also known as periapical cyst, apical periodontal cyst, root end cyst, or dental cyst. It arises from epithelial residues in the periodontal ligament as a result of inflammation. The inflammation usually follows the death of dental pulp. This paper presents a case report of a patient with radicular cyst associated with a central incisor. In the present case due to the patient’s apprehension regarding the presence of a swelling and also the lesions size and extent a surgical procedure was opted. After endodontic therapy, complete enucleation of cyst was done followed by apicoectomy and retrograde filling with MTA.
