What is enucleation of jaw cyst

summary

Jaw cyst is a very common disease, but most of the patients are elderly people. This may be related to the physical condition of the elderly. For patients with this disease, most of them will use surgical removal, let's talk about jaw cyst removal.

What is enucleation of jaw cyst

First, patients with large jaw cysts, especially the elderly. Because of the large range of osteotomy, complicated operation, easy to lead to facial deformity after operation, the elderly can not afford large-scale operation and other characteristics, so many advocate the use of cyst fenestration decompression, reduce the scope of lesions, restore jaw shape, according to the specific situation after fenestration to choose the appropriate treatment.

Second, the treatment of middle-sized cyst of jaw in the elderly is complicated. Because most of the elderly lack teeth or combined with alveolar bone atrophy. Medium sized cysts located in the anterior part of the maxilla may compress the piriform foramen and protrude into the nasal floor; the posterior part may invade the maxillary sinus. If it is located in the mandible, the mandible of the elderly becomes narrower due to lack of teeth. Cysts in the body or ascending branches may compress or push the inferior alveolar nerve canal, and push the adjacent teeth heterotopic or the root tip in the cyst cavity.

Third, if the cyst is removed once, the upper jaw may pass through the nasal cavity or maxillary sinus, and the lower jaw is easy to damage the inferior alveolar nerve canal; if the adjacent teeth are damaged, root canal treatment or extraction is also needed, causing unnecessary pain. These treatments are not suitable for the elderly. Therefore, fenestration decompression is the safest treatment for middle-sized bone cysts in the elderly, with less trauma and pain. Of course, the only disadvantage is that the healing time is a little longer. During this period, the capsule cavity needs to be washed after meals every day.

matters needing attention

The success rate of this operation is very high, and it will not cause too much impact on the later life of patients. After all, the trauma of jaw cyst removal is very small. If the patient got jaw cyst, must accept treatment as soon as possible, the sooner the better treatment, patients suffer less pain.
