    Although radicular cysts are relatively rare, they do occur. In addition, it appears that these lesions present in association with endodontically treated primary teeth. As shown in this paper and previous reports, cysts can be associated with a variety of pulp therapies. These lesions can lead to bony expansion and resorption. Radicular cysts may also cause displacement and damage to the developing permanent dentition. Given the severity of these sequelae it is prudent to recommend regular radiographic examination of primary teeth that have undergone pulp therapy.
