A Bilocular Radicular Cyst in the Mandible with Tooth Structure Components Inside

Figure 2

Intraoperative and pathological findings of the bilocular lesion in the mandible. (a) Bicameral bone resorption after resection of the bilocular lesion. After total resection of the bilocular lesion and extraction of the 1st premolar, bicameral alveolar bone resorption was observed. (b) The resected bilocular lesion. The left half is the proximal part of the lesion and the right side is the distal part. The proximal part is in bright red and the distal part is in dark red. (c) Pathological findings of the proximal part of the lesion. The components of hard tissue in the proximal part of the lesion represented lamellar structures of cementum (arrowheads). (d) Pathological findings of the distal part of the lesion, which showed severe inflammation without tooth structure components inside.
