The patient is a healthy, 20 year old female. Two cysts are discovered after she experienced strong pain in area of tooth #12 (7). The cyst is not resolved after 4 months of endodontic treatment. She has occasional pain and discomfort during this period.

Root resection was performed on teeth #12 (7) and #22 (10). At this same time, cyst enucleation with histopathological examination confirmed radicular cysts. The bone defect was filled with Bond ApatiteŽ (1 cc). More Bond ApatiteŽ was used in #12 (7) and #22 (10).
