This case report discusses the surgical management of an apical periodontal cyst in a 14-year-old male patient presenting with pain in the upper anterior jaw. The patient had a history of trauma to the upper anterior teeth, leading to the development of a radicular cyst involving teeth 11 and 12. The treatment plan included initial root canal therapy followed by surgical enucleation of the cyst, apicoectomy, and retrograde filling of the affected teeth. Titanium-activated platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF) membranes were utilized along with an osseo-bone graft to promote healing and bone regeneration. Post-operative aesthetic rehabilitation was achieved, and the patient showed complete healing upon six months of follow-up. The case highlights the efficacy of combining endodontic therapy with surgical intervention using advanced biomaterials to manage radicular cysts in pediatric patients successfully.
