Radicular cyst - what does this mean

A radicular cyst is a type of cyst that develops on the root of a tooth due to inflammation of the dental pulp. it is caused by the accumulation of fluid in the periodontal ligament, which is the tissue that connects the tooth to the jawbone. the cyst can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected area. it can also damage the surrounding bone and tissue if left untreated.

What happens during the disease - radicular cyst

Radicular cysts are caused by an accumulation of fluid in the periodontal ligament due to bacterial infection, trauma, or occlusal trauma. this fluid accumulation causes the periodontal ligament to expand and press against the adjacent tooth root, leading to the formation of a cyst. if left untreated, the cyst can cause damage to the tooth root and surrounding bone structure, leading to pain, infection, and further tissue damage.
