Treatment & Prognosis

  • Endodontic restoration of the tooth.
  • For non-restorable teeth:
    • Removal of the tooth and curettage of the apical area.
  • Prognosis: Excellent.
    • If the tooth is removed but the cyst remains → it may involute.
    • If left untreated → it may persist as a residual cyst.
