## Abstract

Radicular cysts are among the most common odontogenic cystic lesions in the maxillofacial region. This case report details the management of a large radicular cyst in the anterior maxillary region of a 32-year-old female patient and includes a literature review on such cysts. The patient underwent cyst decompression, surgical enucleation, tooth extractions, root canal treatments, periapical curettage, and prosthetic rehabilitation. This study underscores the effectiveness of conservative approaches, such as decompression, in reducing cyst size and highlights the importance of individualized treatment plans for achieving optimal outcomes and preventing recurrence. Collaborative efforts between clinicians and multidisciplinary teams are crucial for managing radicular cysts and ensuring long-term oral health for patients.
