Abstract
Radicular Cysts (RCs) are the most common inflammatory cysts arising from the odontogenic remnants. It is usually associated with carious, non-vital, or fractured tooth. Although the occurrence of RCs is not uncommon, but bilaterally symmetrical presentation of these cysts in young patient is quite rare. Present case was treated successfully with endodontic treatment of the adjoining involved teeth, followed by extraction of the offending teeth and enucleation of the cysts. Hereby we report case of bilaterally infected RCs in a 14 years old female patient. Also an attempt has been made to discuss its pathogenesis and clinical features in light of current information from the literature.
