“…Additionally, an 81% reduction was observed when decompression was maintained for an average of 17.5 months911. Another study reported that it is preferable to perform enucleation if the size of the lesion after decompression decreases more than 50%-60%8.…”

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment efficacy of enucleation after decompression.Materials and MethodsA total of 17 patients with cystic lesion of the jaw were treated with decompression followed by enucleation. Pre- and postdecompression panoramic radiographs were analyzed.ResultsThe mean percentage of reduction after decompression was 64%. The reaction was graded as good (>80%) in five patients (29.4%), moderate (50%-80%) in nine patients (52.9%), and poor (<50%) in three patients (17.6%). The reduction rate of larger cystic lesions was faster than that of smaller lesions. However, the reduction rate was not affected by age. The duration of follow-up ranged from one to eight years. There were no complications, and one case recurred.ConclusionDecompression is an effective method for the initial treatment of jaw cysts.

“…This includes either lavage of the lumen with Carnoy's solution before or after removal, and curettage of the bony wall, or radical resection [10,11,12,13]. Perhaps the most extensive form of treatment indicated for the management of select OKC's is that of osseous resection, marginal or segmental.…”
