Abstract

Traumatic bone cyst is known as a symptomless, radiolucent bony les ion incidentally found during routine radiographic examinations. The main characters of traumatic bone cyst are asymptomatic and unicystic radiolucent bony lesion with vital tooth. This case is a confusing case of a traumatic bone cyst with sudden gingival swelling and appearance like a periapical abscess. After surgical exploration and drainage, clinical and radiographic examination showed bony healing with pulpal vitality preserved after 7 months postoperatively.
