THE USE OF MICROMARSUPIALIZATION TECHNIQUE IN THE TREATMENT OF MUCOCELE IN THE LOWER LIP: CASE REPORT

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this case report is to report a treatment for mucocele in which a micromarsupialization technique was used. Methodology: This work is a case report, from which it is evident the need to use another existing and published work as a basis for the construction of this report, since it is extremely necessary to use a correct and appropriate methodology and structure for this type of article. Thus, the study by Yin (2001) was used to serve as a guide on how this report should be structured, which approach to use, structuring and division of topics, how searches for other articles should be carried out to enrich the article with scientific foundations, what should be included in this study and what should not be included. To this end, searches were carried out in the following databases: Scielo, PUBMED Central, Web of Science, BVS/BIREME, PROSPERO in conjunction with Google Academy. Results: During the search process for other studies and case reports in order to enrich this work, it became evident that the best current form of treatment for mucocele is through micromarsupialization. Conclusion: Thus, it became evident that the micromarsupialization technique is highly effective in the treatment of mucocele, which presents a good immediate result after the use of the technique and is effective in the treatment of mucocele as presented in the report.
