Such a capsule of connective tissue grows around the pocket of infection and isolates it from the healthy bone tissues. Inside the cyst there are immune system cells which bravely fight with bacteria from the root canal.

However, this can't last forever. Follicular cyst is like a "time bomb". When the cyst is inflamed, it gives a rise to a suppurative process in bone tissue, and as a consequence, starts a flux development. A usual result of this is a tooth removal. You shouldn't allow this.
