B9 cysts and shit Flashcards
basic surgical goals when managing b9 cysts
eradication of pathological condition
funcitonal rehab
what is imperative prior to definitive tx
histological diagnosis
PA cyst vs ameloblastoma…which would require more aggressive tx
tumor (ameloblastoma)
when should you plan reconstruction? what types of things should you plan for
plan while planning the excisions surgery
grafting, fixation, soft tissue, dental rehab, PATIENT PREPARATION
a true cyst….
contains an epithelial lining
types of inflammatory cyst (2)
periapical
residual
types of developmental cysts (5)
dentigerous OKC lateral periodontal glandular odontogenic cyst calcifying odontogenic cyst
4 strategies for managing cysts
- enucleation
- enucleation and curettage
- marsupialization
- staged marsupialization and enucleation
what is the decompression technique
staged marsup/enucleation
what is the treatment of choice for cystic lesions
enucleation
define enucleation
remove entire cystic lesions without rupture
what allows a cleavage plane between lesion and bony cavity during enucleation
fibrous connective tissue
indication for enucleation
any cyst that can be removed in entirety and safely without harming adjacent structures
how would you treat a dentigerous or PA cyst
enucleation
advantages of enuc
history examination of entire cystic wall
initial biopsy/treatment is curative in certain situations
disadvantages of enuc
possible pathologic fracture
devitalization of teeth
injury to nerve
enuc technique
access
aspirate
use largest curette
visualize bony cavity for soft tissue remnants
smooth bony margins/obtain water tight primary closure
what type of curette/how should you use curette for enuc
largest curette that defect will allow
cleavage plane
concave surface toward bone
post op for enuc
modify diet/activity
OHI
panorex every 6 mos
how long will it take for bony fill after enuc, will this bone recontour over time?
6-12 mos
yes it will recontour
E&C steps
enucleate cyst
remove 1-2 mm of bone with burs on entire periphery of cavity
is outcome better with mechanical (burs) or curette during e&c
you can use curette aggressively, but burs are more effective
e&c indications
aggressive cyst with high recurrence (OKC)
secondary surgery after recurrence when 1st surgery (enucleation) was deemed curative
advantage of e&c
gets rid of all epithelial remnants, decreasing chance of recurrence
