Highlights • Radicular cysts are benign, odontogenic, and inflammatory in nature that commonly arise in the maxilla.• No link has been previously found between silicone chin implants and radicular cysts or fistulating radicular cysts.• We suggest dental panoramic X-ray screening for patients with poor oral hygiene or dental trauma to detect radicular cysts before the operation.• The decision to proceed with chin implant in a patient known for treated radicular cyst may be unsafe, as the recurrence rate is unknown.
