Jaw cyst surgery

Surgical removal of jaw cysts while preserving surrounding teeth.

About this service

A jaw cyst is a fluid-filled cavity usually arising from chronic processes at a tooth root. It must be surgically removed - it will not resolve on its own, and as it grows it can displace teeth and weaken the jaw. Surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, with care to preserve neighbouring teeth and bone.

Step by step

How the procedure works

  1. CBCT scan and precise surgical plan.
  2. Local anaesthesia (sedation optional).
  3. Surgical access (cystectomy or cystostomy).
  4. Cyst removal and cleaning of the bony cavity.
  5. Bone graft if needed.
  6. Suturing and follow-up at 7 days.

When it is needed

Materials & technology

Piezo-surgery (Mectron) for precise cuts without soft-tissue damage. Resorbable and non-resorbable bone substitutes as needed.

Frequently asked questions

Is the tooth above the cyst extracted?
Not always. If the tooth is still vital and the root intact - we keep it. A devitalised tooth gets root canal treatment or extraction.
How long is recovery?
Swelling and tenderness pass within 5-7 days. Follow-up at 7 days, suture removal if needed.
Can the cyst recur?
Rarely, but possible. We perform histopathology on the removed tissue and follow-up X-rays for 1-2 years.
