PERIAPICAL CYST, THE MOST COMMON ODONTOGENIC CYST OF THE ORAL CAVITY: CASE REPORT

Abstract

ABSTRACT: THE PERIAPICAL CYST IS MORE PREVALENT IN ADULTS, WITH THE ANTERIOR REGION OF THE MAXILLA BEING THE MOST AFFECTED AREA. PATIENTS WITH THIS LESION USUALLY DO NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS. THE CYST DOES NOT HAVE A LARGE DIAMETER, AND GROWTH IS SLOW IN MOST CASES. IN THE VAST MAJORITY, THE DISCOVERY IS THROUGH ROUTINE EXAMINATION, PERFORMED BY RADIOGRAPHY. THE PATIENT DID NOT REPORT ANY COMPLAINTS IN THE ANAMNESIS, AND THE INTRAORAL AND EXTRAORAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION DID NOT DETECT ALTERATION CHANGES OR ABNORMAL APPEARANCES OF THE FACE AND ORAL CAVITY. ACTUAL DIAGNOSIS PRESENTED BY THE PATIENT. THE TREATMENT INVOLVED THE UPPER LEFT REGION OF THE HEMI-ARCH, WHERE THE TREATMENT PERFORMED WAS THE ENDODONTIC TREATMENT OF ELEMENTS 22, 23, FOLLOWED BY EXTRACTION OF TOOTH 21, FOLLOWED BY ENUCLEATION AND CURETTAGE. AFTER EXTRACTION OF THE ELEMENT, THE PROVISIONAL PROSTHESIS WAS MADE, AND IT WAS INSTALLED IN THE SEQUENCE. AFTER THE PLANNING AND EXECUTION OF THE TREATMENT HAD BEEN CONCLUDED, SEVEN DAYS AFTER THE TREATMENT, THE RESULTS WERE SATISFACTORY, WITH GOOD EVOLUTION, WITHOUT PAIN AND WITHOUT ALTERATION IN THE LIMITATION OF HER FUNCTIONS. SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THE OPERATION, THE PATIENT'S CONDITION IS STABLE, WITH NO PAIN AND NO LIMITATION OF HER FUNCTIONS. THE PRESENT WORK HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF REPORTING A CASE OF PERIAPICAL CYST, BEING REPORTED SINCE THE
FROM ROUTINE TO POST-TREATMENT, DEALING WITH SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS IN THE LITERATURE.
