CYST TREATMENTS

Jaw cysts can occur in the same way as in other parts of the body. Jaw cysts usually do not cause symptoms or are manifested by inflammation. For this reason, it is usually noticed on radiographs taken for the treatment of a patient with another complaint. Causes include: incorrect/incomplete dental treatments, trauma associated with the root of the tooth, caries and genetic factors. Early detection and treatment of the cyst is very important. Otherwise, the related tooth may be lost or the cyst may spread to other tissues and damage the jawbone and related tissues.

HOW DO JAW CYSTS SHOW SYMPTOMS?

Cysts seen in the chin usually progress without symptoms. However, some of them show themselves as swelling, edema and tenderness/pain when touched. In cysts located in the lower jaw or cheek area, it may manifest as numbness and numbness in the soft tissues and lower lip.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT METHODS OF JAW CYST?

First and foremost, the root cause of the jaw cyst should be eliminated or controlled. After that, a personalized treatment plan is made according to the patient’s condition and the type and characteristics of the cyst.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE OF JAW CYST ARISING FROM THE TEETH

In such jaw cysts, the condition of the tooth is first examined. If the related tooth will not be extracted during the cyst treatment, root-canal treatment is performed if the root-canal treatment has not been applied to the related tooth first. Then, with the decrease in the size of the cyst, the healing is followed by radiographic images taken at 3-6 month intervals. However, if there is still no adequate healing after these procedures, the cyst is completely surgically removed with the tip of the root of the relevant tooth. If the tooth is too decayed, broken or over-processed to be treated, the cyst is cleaned with special tools from the space in the extraction area immediately after the tooth is extracted. If a jaw cyst is still observed after 3 or 6 months of radiographic controls, a second operation may be required.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE FOR CYSTS NOT ARISING FROM THE TEETH

First of all, the anatomical formations in the area where the jaw cyst is located are examined. Then the surgical procedure is determined. With the help of 3-dimensional radiographic images, surgical intervention is performed with minimal intervention to the surrounding tissues so that no cyst tissue remains. All jaw cyst operations can be performed with local anesthesia. All drugs in the prescription written after the procedure should be used regularly. Since chin cysts are recurring formations even if they are very low, they should be followed up regularly by taking radiography.

WHY IS THE TREATMENT OF JAW CYST IMPORTANT?

Cyst formations can cause serious health problems if they progress as in every part of the body. Swelling and numbness in the face area can turn into a problem that will negatively affect both aesthetic and social life. Due to the size and aggressiveness of the cyst in the jawbone, the jawbone may be lost and the weakened jawbone may break. In addition, a benign cyst that can be treated easily can turn into malignant tumors that can spread to many parts of the body due to the passage of time. Therefore, jaw cysts should be treated immediately and followed up for a long time after treatment.
