Mandibular infected buccal cyst or a paradental cyst?: Report of a case
Magboul el, M S Duggal & J Pedlar
Abstract
The mandibular infected buccal cyst occurs on the buccal and distal aspects of the roots of the partially or newly erupted first permanent molar. It typically affects children between the ages of 6 to 10 years and the associated first permanent molar is vital. The cyst is lined with a non-keratinised squamous epithelium with inflammatory cell infiltrate in the connective tissue. Most clinical and histological features are similar to those reported for paradental cysts
