Q

are DCs UL or ML?

A
  • Large DC may give the impression of a multilocular process due to persistence of bone trabeculae within the radiolucency
  • DC are grossly and histopathologically unilocular processes

Q

Treatment for DC

A
  • Curettage of cyst with or without extraction of impacted tooth
  • No recurrence expected
  • Large DC may be treated by marsupialization which permits decompression of the cyst, with a resulting reduction in size of the bone defect
