Abstract

The authors have interpreted one patient's full mJuth intra-oral films, oblique- lateral film of the left mandible and orthopantomograph which revealed 6 radicular and 1 residual cysts. As a results of interpretation of these serial films, we have drawn following conclusions: 1. Radicular cyst arose from the cell rests contained in an apical granuloma which was sequel to advanced pulpitis due to dental caries. 2. Residual cyst was developed from remaining cell rests after the extraction of a tooth with such a radicular cyst or apical dental granuloma. 3. Cyst grew in size by absorption of fluid into cystic cavity due to difference in osmotic pressure between the cystic fluid and adjacent tissue fluid.
