Among the odontogenic cysts, there are radicular cysts or also called periapical cysts, are the most common odontogenic cyst. They develop at the apex of a tooth with pulp necrosis, which may be the consequence of dental caries or trauma. they are asymptomatic, grow slowly, and are discovered on routine radiographs. With the proliferation of the ERM and its activation, there is an increase in osmotic pressure, causing the cyst to expand, normally this ERM is not activated, so only granulation tissue develops at the apex of the affected tooth. Granulation tissue is called periapical granuloma and, as such, histologically lacks an epithelial lining. In the present study, a case of a 65-year-old female patient with an inflammatory periapical cyst in the region of the lower incisors is reported.
