Abstract
Radicular or periapical cysts are one of the most commonly occurring odontogenic cysts of the jaws. The present article reported a case of a 12-year-old female with the chief complaint of swelling and pain on the right lower back tooth region. The radiographic examination revealed the presence of a well-defined radiolucency surrounded by a corticated border with respect to the right mandibular 1<sup>st</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> molar. The case was managed by complete enucleation under general extraction with the extraction of right mandibular 1<sup>st</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> molar. The success of the surgery was apparent by the uneventful healing during the follow-up period and evidence of complete healing after 1-month follow-up. Early diagnosis of the lesion would have lead to a less aggressive treatment plan.
