Cyst Operations
The cyst is a pathological cavity surrounded by a wall that grows from the center to the periphery. The pressure created by the cysts as they grow causes resorption in the roots of the neighboring teeth, and loss of neighboring teeth can be seen in the cysts that grow too much.
Cysts can develop from cell residues that settle into tissues during the embryological development process, as well as pathological changes in the root tip area as a result of irritation from the infected root canal or as a result of this lesion remaining in the jaw bone after extraction of teeth with cystic lesions at the root tip.
The basic principle in cyst surgery is to remove the entire cyst with its wall. Adjacent tooth roots that are not associated with the cyst lesion should be preserved and the teeth in the cyst should be kept in the mouth by apical resection method.
In some types of cysts, a resistance is placed in the cyst with the pressure created by the cyst and in order to keep the impacted teeth to continue. This resistance is changed every week to reduce the pressure inside the cyst, the formation of new bone around the cyst and the impacted teeth to continue.
Cyst treatment should not cause functional or aesthetic problems. Therefore, reconstruction of large cyst cavities with appropriate bone dust and barrier is required.
