Chronic apical periodontitis and apical cyst are chronologically different expressions of a chronic, productive-type inflammatory process. Treatment, however, differs with cases. As X-ray diagnosis is generally impossible, endodontic treatment is the first therapeutic action required. If no remission is seen, surgery is necessary, with curettage in the event of apical integrity, and apicectomy otherwise.
慢性根尖周炎和根尖囊肿是慢性、增生型炎症过程在时间上的不同表现形式。然而，治疗方法因病例而异。由于通常无法进行X线诊断，根管治疗是首要的治疗措施。如果未见缓解，则需要进行手术，若根尖完整则行刮治术，否则行根尖切除术。
