Symptoms of root cyst

summary

Root cyst includes periodontal cyst and odontogenic cyst. The disease is more common in older patients. Because of the infection and injury of the root, the apical granuloma is cystic, and the lateral incisor is the most common. The cyst was covered with squamous epithelium and the apices of diseased teeth protruded into the cyst cavity. Tell us about the symptoms of root cyst.

Symptoms of root cyst

Periodontal cysts and odontogenic cysts grow slowly, but they can grow up and compress the maxillary sinus bone to make it thin and shift, or grow directly into the maxillary sinus. Giant cysts can destroy the walls of maxillary sinus and cause the buccal, oral vestibule, hard palate and alveolar process to swell. Due to the effect of tension, the eyeball moves upward and outward, or expands to the nasal cavity, causing nasal obstruction. When there is no infection, there is usually no typical local pain.

Clinical diagnosis can be made according to the results of dental examination, maxillary sinus puncture, X-ray (nasal sinus Photography - plain film or intracapsular injection of contrast agent). If there is swelling in the cheek or oral vestibule, palpation can be used to detect a smooth and elastic surface under it, such as the feeling of pressing a ping-pong ball or a lump with broken eggshell.

The number of periodontal cysts can be single or multiple, and most of them are located at the root of lateral incisor. The contents of the capsule were thin and transparent, some were ginger or soy liquid, containing cholesterol. Dentigerous cysts were most common in single cases. Most of the teeth are incisors, upper third molars and extra teeth. Its contents are clear, dark brown or brown liquid, containing cholesterol. On X-ray, the root of the diseased tooth protruded into the cavity. There were single or several complete teeth or crowns in the cyst, the position was not fixed, and the crowns protruded into the cyst cavity.

matters needing attention

Once the diagnosis is confirmed, surgical treatment should be carried out in time to avoid the displacement of adjacent teeth and occlusal disorder. Generally from the mouth surgery, if accompanied by infection, must first use antibiotics or other antibiotics to control inflammation before surgery. X-ray should be taken before operation to confirm the scope of cyst and the relationship between adjacent tissues.
