(135 cards)
A —– is imperative prior to definitive treatment
histological diagnosis
A true cyst contains an
epithelial lining
Inflammatory
Periapical Cyst
Residual Cysts
Developmental
Dentigerous Cyst Odontogenic Keratocyst Lateral Periodontal Cyst Glandular Odontogenic Cyst Calcifying Odontogenic Cysts (Gorlin’s Cyst
MANAGEMENT OF CYSTS
Enucleation
Enucleation & curettage (E&C)
Marsupialization
Staged marsupialization & enucleation (decompression technique)
Enucleation
Treatment of choice for —–
Removal of the entire cystic lesion without —–
——– allows a cleavage plane between lesion and bony cavity
cystic lesions
rupture
Fibrous connective tissue (CT) wall
Enucleation Indications ------ Common examples ------
Any cyst that can be removed in entirety & safely without harming adjacent structures
Dentigerous cyst
Periapical cyst
Enucleation
Advantages
—– examination of the entire cystic wall
——- is curative in certain situations
Histopathologic
Initial biopsy/treatment
Enucleation
Disadvantages
Possible pathological fracture
Devitalization of teeth
Injury to nerve
Enucleation
Technique
Gain access to cyst
Aspirate
Use largest curette that defect will allow: Cleavage plane
Concave surface toward bone
Visualize bony cavity for soft tissue remnants
Smooth bony margins and obtain water tight primary closure
Enucleation Post-operative course Diet/activity modification Meticulous oral hygiene May require close follow-up with periodic panoramic radiograph (every ------) -----months for bony fill Expanded bone will recontour over time
6 months
6-12
Enucleation & Curettage (E&C)
——- first
Mechanical (burs) curettage is performed to remove —— of bone at the entire periphery of the bony cavity
Can use the curette aggressively to accomplish, but outcome is better with mechanical
Cyst is enucleated
1-2mm
Enucleation & curettage
Indications
When removing a known ——-
Second surgery after ——
aggressive cyst such as an OKC (high recurrence)
recurrence when 1st surgery (enucleation) was deemed curative
Enucleation & curettage
Advantage
——-
Destroys any suspected epithelial remnants, decreasing chance of recurrence
Damage to neurovascular bundle
Dental pulps stripped
Marsupialization
Open a cystic lesion and maintain —– to an adjacent cavity
(Oral cavity, maxillary sinus, or nasal cavity)
Decreases —– pressure
Cyst shrinkage
Bony fill
Sole treatment (rarely) or as a preliminary step before ——–
patency
intracystic
definitive enucleation of the smaller cyst
Marsupialization Indications ---- at risk with enucleation Difficult ----- to all portions of cyst Increases ---- rate Medical compromise
Adjacent vital structures
surgical access
recurrence
Marsupialization Advantages --- to perform Can spare ----- Either ------ or makes it -----
Simple
vital structures
completely resolves lesion
much smaller and easier to treat and reconstruct
Marsupialization Disadvantages Cannot ----- Areas left behind may be ----- Patient inconvenience with ------ Occasional secondary infections
histologically examine the entire cystic wall
more aggressive than piece removed
home care
Marsupialization
Technique
Aspirate
Create 1cm or large elliptical incision in soft tissue
Create bony window
Piece of cystic lining removed and submitted for
Marsupialization; histopatholgic exam ----- evacuated Keep ------ patent Thick cystic lining: suture to ---- Thin/friable cystic lining: ------
Cystic contents
window into cyst
oral mucosa
pack cavity for 10-14 days to prevent oral mucosa from healing over window
Marsupialization
Post-operative course
—- is responsible for irrigating the cystic cavity
Cavity may become secondarily infected
Routine follow-up with —– to assess progress
**How long do you leave the cavity open?
Until —— have been met
Patientradiographic evaluation
goals for choosing marsupialization
Staged marsupialization & enucleation
Known as “——” technique
decompression
Opening cyst to oral cavity (marsupialization) and surgical plan is to make the cyst smaller (decompression) for final E&C at a later date
This is more commonly performed vs. marsupialization alone
Staged marsupialization & enucleation
Lesion marsupialized and allowed time for:
——
Routine follow-up with radiographic assessment until bone fill stalls and/or goals met
Enucleate remaining cyst
—– around opening of cyst
Remove all —–
Bone cover of vital structures
Increased strengthening of jaw
Elliptical incision
cystic lining
Staged marsupialization & enucleation
Indications
Concern for ——-
Size of lesion
Marsupialization alone does not resolve lesion
Need to examine entire lesion histopathologically
injury to adjacent anatomical structures
