SCHEUER %A JOZEF ZUSTIN %T Lateral Periodontal Cyst %D 2014 %J In Vivo %P 595-598 %V 28 %N 4 %X The lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is a harmless developmental aberration derived from odontogenic epithelia lying between the roots of vital teeth. The exact histogenesis of LPC is a matter of debate but therapy is usually only required to maintain stable periodontal conditions and in case of evidence for growth of the cyst. We report on a case of LPC where successful surgical therapy had initialized osseous restoration. We further discuss the value of histological findings to substantiate a clinical and radiological diagnosis. %U https://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/invivo/28/4/595.full.pdf
