Radicular cyst is a true epithelium lined cyst formed when epithelium at the apex of a nonvital tooth is stimulated by inflammation. It is the most common type of cyst in the oral cavity, but its frequency is low in the primary dentition. Treatment of large-sized cyst aims at conservation of adjacent structure and allowance of proper eruption of the successive permanent teeth in the primary dentition. Considering these two aspects, marsupialization or enucleation following decompression is recommended as a treatment means for large-sized radicular cyst. In this case, 8-year old boy visited the pediatric dentistry department. Yonsei University Dental Hospital, with the chief complaint of pain on the lower right area. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed periapical radiolucent lesion on #84, which had previous pulp treatment and restorated with the stainless steel crown. Dislocation of its successive tooth, #44, was also observed. #84 was extracted and sent for biopsy. Through histologic examination, it was diagnosed as radicular cyst. Following its extraction, removable space maintainer was delivered, which was also used as a decompressor. During periodic check-up for next 22 months, favorable healing of the lesion and eruption of the successive tooth were observed.

Primary teeth and the permanent successor must be understood as interdependent units, where each one of them interacts with and depends upon the other. The spread of pulpal inflammation in primary teeth to the periradicular tissues can lead to early eruption, enamel hypoplasia or hypocalcification, developmental arrest of permanent successor. Also the periapical inflammation cause permanent tooth displacement in various direction. We describe here two clinical cases of displaced permanent successor caused by periapical lesion of mandibular primary molar in children.

A case of an unicystic ameloblastoma of the mandible presenting as an apical periodontal cyst was reported. The lesion showed an unilocular radiolucency with well delineated border. Histologic examination revealed that a fibrous cyst wall with a lining that consists of partially of ameloblastic epithelium. The overlying epithelial cells are loosely cohesive and resemble stellate reticulum. The fibrous cyst wall of the cyst is infiltrated by typical follicular ameloblastoma. but devoid of inflammatory reaction in the cystic wall. Some considerations regarding differential diagnosis. pathogenesis and biologic behaviour of the lesion were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of radiographic lesion size, gender, age of patients and radiographic character to the diagnosis of periapical cyst and granuloma. The data was collected from 187 periapical lesions of 167 patients who undergone apical surgery at Department of Conservative Dentistry, Seoul National University Dental Hospital from 2003 to 2005. The lesion were surgically removed and send for biopsy to the Oral Pathology Laboratory. From the initial radiograph, lesion size was calculated using $PiViewSTAR^{(R)}$ (INFINITT, Korea) program. The obtained data were statistically evaluated using SPSS (p<0.05). The result were as followings: 1. From 187 biopsy samples, the incidence of periapical cyst was 28.34% and granuloma was 65.24%. 2. There was a significant correlation between periapical cyst and the size of radiographic lesion (p<0.01). 3. There were no significant correlations between age, gender, location of lesion and the final diagnosis (p>0.05). 4. There was a significant correlation between the non-demarcation of the lesion and the incidence of periapical granuloma (p<0.01).

A case of a botryoid odontogenic cyst of the globulomaxillary area between the right upper lateral incisor and the canine presenting as an apical periodontal cyst was reported. The cyst showed an unilocular radiolucency with a well delineated hyperostotic border. Histologic examination revealed multiple cysts lined by one or two-cell layers, some areas demonstrated a bud-like thickening of the epithelium. Clear cells were also conspicuous, but devoid of inflammatory reaction in the cystic wall. Some considerations regarding differential diagnosis, histogenetic and biologic behaviour of the lesion were discussed.

Dentigerous cysts generally encompass the crown of an unerupted tooth. These cysts are usually solitary. They are the second most common odontogenic type of cysts following radicular cysts, and are frequently associated with impacted mandibular third molars or maxillary canines. Most multiple cysts found in the jaw are odontogenic keratocysts associated with the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, mucopolysaccharidoses and cleidocranial dysplasia. Although a single dentigerous cyst is well documented in the medical literature, including the prevalence, treatment and prognosis, multiple dentigerous cysts without any systemic symptoms is unusual. Furthermore, cases involving both the maxilla and mandible are especially rare. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with nonsyndromic multiple dentigerous cysts associated with a mandibular second premolar and a maxillary canine. The treatment was conservative and included marsupialization and eruption guidance. Further follow up is planned to rule out additional problems and the possible identification of a syndrome.

Dentigerous cyst is the most common type of odontogenic cyst followed by radicular cyst. Most of dentigerous cysts originate from the permanent dentition and a few of them are associated with mesiodens. The complications of a dentigerous cyst associated with mesiodens are eruption abnomalies of adjacent teeth, root resorption, displacement, rotation, diastema and the secondary infection of the cyst due to adjacent teeth. The treatment of a dentigerous cyst of a maxillary mesiodens is to enucleate a cyst with a mesiodens. Otherwise, when it is close to adjacent teeth, a cyst is to reduce the through marsupialization after removing a mesiodens. There are numerous studies on dentigerous cysts and mesiodentes alone; however, the studies on the association of the two are rare. These are case reports about patients with mixed dentition whose dentigerous cyst of a maxillary mesiodens had been removed. After removal, the patients have been regularly checked up and shown satisfactory progress.
