pubmed-article:15128056 | pubmed:abstractText | A total of 325 cases of inflammatory paradental cysts (IPCs) and 17 own cases were reviewed. Although known since 1930, the IPC is still unrecognized by many clinicians. The IPCs show a relative frequency of 0.9-4.7%. The majority of cysts occur distally or distobuccally to vital, permanent mandibular molars with a history of pericoronitis (IPC/3rd mandibular molar alone accounts for 64.9%). Radiologically, the cyst appears as a well-defined, semilunar unilocular radiolucency. | lld:pubmed |
