Cysts: These are fluid‐filled sacs, often benign, that can grow inside the jaw bone or in soft tissues of the jaw. Some types:
Radicular cyst (around root of a dead tooth)
Dentigerous cyst (around crown of unerupted tooth)
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) — tends to be more aggressive and recurrent
Residual cyst (after extraction leaves cyst behind)
Others (developmental, lateral periodontal etc.)
Tumors / Lesions: Can be benign or malignant. Some benign tumors include ameloblastoma, odontogenic myxoma, central giant cell granuloma, fibrous dysplasia, etc. Malignant lesions are less common but more serious.
Causes include infection (leading to some cysts), developmental anomalies, irritation, genetic predispositions, etc.
Enucleation / Curettage: Removal of cyst/tumor and scraping the cavity. Often suitable for benign cysts/tumors.
Marsupialization: Opening the cyst to drain, maintain opening so cyst shrinks, often used for large cysts to reduce size before definitive surgery.
Resection: Removing part of jaw bone, sometimes segmental resection if tumor is large or malignant.
Peripheral ostectomy: After removal, trimming margins of jaw bone to remove microscopic extensions.
Reconstruction: If a large part of jaw is removed, reconstruction may be needed (bone grafts, plates, flaps).
Adjunctive therapy: For malignant tumors, may include radiotherapy, chemotherapy.
