Odontogenic cysts (ODCs) originated from odontogenic epithelium are the most common cyst that may exhibit local destructive be-havior. Radicular cysts (RCs) and developmental odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are the two most commonly encountered types in practice. Infection of necrotic teeth is responsible for the formation of RCs and progresses as apical lesions, whereas OKCs react with an inflammatory response to chronic irritation caused by necrotic teeth [1]. Cystic lesions may lead to the loosening of the teeth, predis-position to fracture of the involved bone, inflammatory con-sequences, pain, swelling, andother symptoms. Through the
