The Authors presented the clinical report of an apical scar because of the rareness of the case and because of the interesting differential diagnosis: this lesion has a cystic radiological aspect and must be differentiated from the real odontogenic cysts of the jaws; the apical scar does not belong to the cystic pathology and represents just a defect of the healing process: no treatment is requested as the apical scar mustn't be considered a pathology.
