Summary

This study presents a case of mandibular keratocystis successfully treated with decompressive therapy and cystectomy. Young patient age likely aided bone regeneration after the procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Pathology

Background:

  • Keratocystis, a developmental odontogenic cyst, can occur in the mandible.
  • Treatment typically involves surgical excision, but recurrence is possible.

Observation:

  • A case of mandibular keratocystis was managed using a novel approach.
  • Decompressive therapy was employed to reduce the cystic lesion's size.

Findings:

  • Subtotal reduction of the cystic lacuna was achieved through decompressive therapy.
  • Subsequent cystectomy was performed for complete removal.
  • Significant bone regeneration was observed post-treatment.

Implications:

  • Decompressive therapy may be an effective adjunct in managing mandibular keratocystis.
  • The patient's young age potentially facilitated a favorable bone regenerative response.
  • This approach may offer an alternative to traditional cystectomy alone.
