Surgical removal of dental and jawbone cysts

A cyst in the jawbone or mandible often develops asymptomatically and is sometimes detected accidentally on an X-ray. Left untreated, it grows, destroying the bone and adjacent teeth, which is why it requires planned surgical treatment.

What is a dental cyst and what are its symptoms

A cyst is a pathological, fluid-filled space within the bone, most commonly associated with a necrotic tooth or an impacted wisdom tooth. It grows slowly and does not cause pain for a long time; however, over time, it can lead to bone expansion, tooth displacement, recurrent inflammation, or fistulas. Most cysts are detected on a panoramic X-ray or a CT scan performed for other indications.

How a cyst surgery is performed at Mabel Clinic

We plan the treatment based on a tomography scan, which shows the exact extent of the lesion and its relationship to important structures. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia: the cyst is completely enucleated, and the bone defect is filled with bone substitute material if necessary. The removed lesion is sent for histopathological examination, and healing is monitored during follow-up visits and through X-rays.

Healing and safety of treatment

After the procedure, swelling and tenderness may occur, which usually subside within a few days with the use of recommended medications. The bone at the site of the cyst gradually reconstructs over several months, which we monitor on follow-up X-rays. Early removal of the lesion allows the preservation of adjacent teeth and prevents extensive bone loss in the future.
