Abstract: 

Radicular cysts are the most common of all jaw bone cysts. As a result of inflammation radicular cysts arise from the epithelial residues in the periodontal ligament. Generally, they are a result of pulpal infection following dental caries. Radicular cysts treatment involves surgical approach, more or less aggressive. In this case we presented a 35-year-old male patient with large radicular cyst in the anterior maxilla. However, the cyst was completely removed by enucleation without intraoperative and postoperative complications. The presented case supports the opinion that careful enucleation of large cysts without complications, such as damages of surrounding anatomical structures.
