TI  - Lateral Periodontal Cyst Diagnosed 
by Intraoral Ultrasonography
AB  - A lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is a non-inflammatory 
odontogenic cyst that usually develops around the lateral root surfaces of premolars and canines. Patients usually visit clinics with 
complaints of painless swelling in a localized area of the mouth. Generally, the related teeth are vital, with no other symptoms. On radiographs, LPCs can be seen as regular and oval radiolucent lesions. 
Depending on their location and shape, the lesions may not be visible 
on panoramic radiographs in some cases, thereby necessitating the 
use of advanced imaging methods. Advanced imaging methods, such 
as ultrasonography (USG), can be used to diagnose these lesions. Intraoral USG is a rare application of USG, which has recently been introduced in the field of dental radiology. In dentistry, intraoral USG 
has been used for the examination of salivary glands and their ducts, 
the floor of the mouth, mucosal lesions, the tongue, periodontal tissues, and periapical lesions. In this case, a LPC case diagnosed by 
using intraoral USG and conventional imaging and treated surgically 
is presented.
