Abstract

Different devices for decompression of cystic lesions of the jaw have been described in the literature. Although there are no rigorous rules for choosing a particular design or method, the choice depends on situational needs. Although minor, most techniques are associated with certain difficulties and complications, such as the need for long-term monitoring, inappropriate decompression tube size, soft tissue trauma, suture dehiscence, soft tissue invagination, dislodgement, and malpositioning of the tube into the lesion. These complications may have a negative impact on the level of treatment acceptance, especially when devices are used over long periods. The aim of this study was to present a new suitable device for cystic lesions close to tooth-bearing areas of the jaws.
