Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic effect of staged treatment for huge mandibular cystic lesions.
Methods: The study enrolled 18 cases of huge cystic lesions whose extent in X-ray film exceeded 5 cm from 2005 to 2009 in our hospital, 6 of them presented mal-aligned dentition. Decompression was first given under local anesthesia to make the entire extent gradually reduced to half of its primary extent, then the cysts were enucleated secondarily combined with simultaneous Bio-oss insertion under general anesthesia, followed by X-ray examination monthly to observe the density of bone, and normal orthodontic treatment was given to 6 cases with malocclusion.
