Cyst Enucleation
Dental cysts are growths in the mouth that occur due to infection, disease of the gum tissue, or an infection in the pulp chambers of teeth. All cysts must be removed to prevent structural damage to the teeth.
Treatment of tumors:
Treatment of jaw tumors generally involves surgical care. In some cases, treatment may be medical therapy or a combination of surgery and medical therapy.
During surgery, the doctor removes the jaw tumor , which may include removing nearby teeth, tissue and jawbone, and sends it to the lab for examination. A pathologist examines the removed tissue and reports a diagnosis during the procedure so that the surgeon can act on this information immediately.
Other treatments may include:
- Reconstruction of the jawbone or other structures
- Medical therapy for certain types of jaw tumors and cysts
- Supportive care to help maintain your quality of life, including assisting with nutrition, speech and swallowing, and replacements for missing teeth
