BACKGROUND: A radicular cyst in a 9-year old girl is reported. CASE REPORT: A 9-year-old child was referred from her General Dental Practitioner because of the need for obtaining expert care, assessment and treatment with regards to a radiolucency associated with her lower right second primary molar (85). TREATMENT: This included surgical intervention for the removal of the affected tooth, enucleation of the cyst and primary closure of the surgical area. FOLLOW-UP: This was satisfactory and 12 months post-operative the patient reported no further problems or symptoms. It could be seen that the area previously occupied by the cyst had undergone bony infill.
