Research progress in the treatment of odontogenic jaw cysts

Abstract

Odontogenic jaw cysts are clinically common benign lesions of the jaw. Traditional treatment modalities mainly include root canal therapy (RCT), marsupialization, cyst fenestration and drainage, scaling and partial jaw resection. Because of its different indications and advantages and disadvantages, there is still a need for improvement in traditional treatment modalities. Recently, the improvement of fenestration drainage, the combination of platelet-rich concentrates and bone filling materials, and the resection of odontogenic jaw cysts with deep location and difficulty in exploration under minimally invasive assisted techniques provide some reference for the treatment of jaw cystic lesions. This article reviews the various treatment methods and advantages and disadvantages of odontogenic jaw cysts in recent years.
