The management of the RC is still existing over a debate. Therefore, we present a study of nonsurgical management of pathological cysts of dental origin. Aim: To study the success of non-surgical management of patients presenting with pathological cysts of dental origin in terms of healing and recurrence. Materials and methods: Prospective study was done in 25 patients presenting with pain and swelling in the conservative and endodontics department for a period of 2 years. The cystic cavity was opened and drained using various methods such as decompression, aspiration-irrigation, CAOH and lesion sterilization. Results: The success rate of nonsurgical treatment was 80 % while 12% of cases presented with recurrence and 8% of cases had delayed healing. Conclusion: Follow-up and assessment of healing are essential after nonsurgical treatment of the cysts. The surgical approach is used for cases which are refractory to nonsurgical method.
