Abstract
Radicular cysts arising from deciduous teeth are rare. 28 such cases have been recorded in the literature since 1898. In this study, we present 23 personally-observed cases of radicular cysts arising from deciduous teeth. The patients' ages ranged from 4 to 12 years with one exceptional case aged 19 years, The M:F ratio was 1.6:1. The mandible was affected more frequently than the maxilla and the deciduous molars were the teeth most commonly involved. 2 of the cysts presented multi-locular radiolucency; in 9 cases, buccal expansion was noticed and in 8 cases, permanent buds were displaced. Caries was the most common etiologic factor in the formation of the cysts. Histologically, cysts in varying stages of development were lined by proliferating non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
