Abstract
ObjectivesSolitary bone cysts are generally seen in the mandible of young patients. The empty cavity is sometimes lined with a thin layer of connective tissue. During surgical exploration, the cavity fills with blood and the clot that later forms results in full resolution of the cyst. Matherials and methodsWe describe a traumatic pseudocyst that developed in the jaw of a young patient, which was treated with surgical curettage of the cyst cavity and placement of a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) graft. ResultsOne year after surgery, the follow-up examination revealed complete resolution of the lesion with formation of new trabecular bone. ConclusionsSurgical curettage of the cyst cavity leads to complete healing of mandibular bone cysts. Use of a PRF graft may accelerate this process, especially in soft tissues.
