Treatment of follicular cysts in children by decompression (case report)

Abstract

Among cysts of inflammatory origin, radicular and follicular cysts are most often found in children. Follicular cysts are found with a frequency of 35.5-42% among all odontogenic cysts between the ages of 7 and 14 years. It was found that the localization of the follicular cyst depends on age: in children, the lower premolars (20.8%) and upper canines (10%) are more often causal, in adults, the lower third molars (23.3%) and upper canines (18.3 %). Cysts from the rudiments of deciduous teeth are quite rare [1].
