Özet
Decompression treatment applied in huge odontogenic cysts and evaluation of the results Muhammet Fatih ÇİÇEK, çağla SAYGIN, cansu gül KOCA Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Uşak University, Usak, Turkey OBJECTIVE: This study discusses the decompression treatment and follow-up procedures applied in cases of odontogenic cysts observed in the jawbones. CASE PRESENTATION: The study includes 4 cases admitted to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Uşak University Faculty of Dentistry. All cases involved healthy individuals. In all patients, asymptomatic, radiolucent, and well-defined lesions were identified through radiographic examination and clinical evaluation. In the first two cases, non-expansive multilocular lesions were detected. Both were diagnosed as odontogenic keratocysts via biopsy and managed with tube decompression followed by clinical monitoring. In Case 3, a 48-year-old female presented with minimally expansive unilocular lesions in the right mandible and anterior maxilla. Biopsy revealed radicular and residual cysts. Decompression was performed using wire ligatures. The patient was followed up accordingly. In Case 4, a 49-year-old male had a unilocular lesion in the left mandibular body associated with adjacent teeth. Biopsy confirmed a radicular cyst. Decompression treatment was administered using wire ligatures, and follow-up was conducted. RESULT: Lesion size reduction at 1, 3, 6, and 12-month follow-ups was comparable between tube and wire decompression methods. However, clinical differences were observed, with wire ligatures offering greater patient comfort. Further research is required to evaluate the long-term clinical success of this technique.
