Cisto paradental: Relato de caso clinico

The paradental cyst (PC) occuring near the cervical margin of the lateral aspect of the root as a consequence of an inflammatory process in a periodontal pocket. The authors review the literature and describe the case of a patient with PC involving a partially erupted third mandibular molar vital tooth. Although this disease rarely affects oral tissues, dentists must recognize its clinical and radiographic manifestations to help in early diagnosis and in the treatment.
