Radicular cysts are common pathological entities in oral and maxillofacial surgery, often necessitating surgical intervention for resolution. This case report outlines the successful management of a radicular cyst through enucleation, supplemented by the application of curcumin gel and gel foam. Enucleation of the cyst was meticulously performed, followed by the application of curcuma oral gel curenext® (Abbott Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., Thane, India), which was recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties. Absorbable gelatin sponge Abgel (Healthium Medtech Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India) was used to ensure controlled delivery of the curcumin gel. This report exemplifies a promising approach to the treatment of radicular cysts, showcasing the potential benefits of incorporating adjunctive therapies like curcumin gel and gel foam.
