Abstract

Lateral Periodontal Cysts (LPCs) are defined as non-keratinized and non-inflammatory developmental cysts located adjacent or lateral to the root of vital teeth. There have been a few cases reported of outcomes of treatment of LPCs. The purpose of this study was to illustrate the case of LPC in a patient and to describe the successful treatment of this case. A 19-year-old Turkish boy was referred by his dentist to the periodontology clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry in July 2008, for the treatment of cyst in the lower right premolar region. The diagnosis of LPC suggested clinically and radiographically was confirmed by the histopathological study. Treatment consisted of oral hygiene instruction, periodontal treatment and enucleation of cyst. Four weeks after surgery healing was occurred and fourteen years later area of the lesion appeared completely normal as clinical and radiographically. The LPC was treated successfully by surgical periodontal treatment.
