Periapical cyst: It is the most common dental cyst, and it is caused by pulpal necrosis. This condition is treatable by root canal therapy or extraction of the offended tooth, and the cyst should be enuclated. Rec.: do not delay visit to your dentist due to the potential chronic infection and future complications.
