Dental cyst

Periapical cyst or commonly known as a dental cyst is a pathology that occurs when a tooth abscess is not treated in time or when the teeth do not develop properly. In particular, a dental cyst forms at the apex of the tooth root and is shaped like a dense, fluid-filled capsule.

In most cases, the dental cyst is not dangerous and does not cause pain or discomfort, so it is usually detected when it reaches much more advanced stages and the only solution that is presented is surgical removal. Depending on the size of the periapical cyst, it can cause a change in the position of the teeth, so immediate treatment is recommended.

The main reasons for the origination of a dental cyst are the damage that may be caused and the infection of the teeth.
