This lesion had a relationship with a periapical lesion of canine tooth and extracted socket of the first premolar tooth [Figure 1]. Clinical and radiographic findings indicated the lesion to be a radicular cyst [Figure 1].

Bone was removed and the top of the lesion was opened like a sinus window [Figure 2]. After enucleation of the cyst, a nerve which was found to be nervus incisivus was exposed [Figure 2]. After removal of the canine tooth, cavity of the cyst was cleaned with sterile physiologic saline solution containing no antibacterial agents and PRF gel was carefully placed inside the bony defect [Figure 2].
At the 7th month follow-up radiography indicated good healing on the site
