Abstract:
Intraoral or extraoral closed suction drainage was used following the surgical enucleation of 42 jaw cysts. Primary healing was observed in 38 (90%) of the patients and complete osseous regeneration was achieved in 17 of 30 patients. In the remaining patients, a slight loss in width and height of the involved area occurred. No functional disturbances were caused by these bony reductions.
