Comparison of Decompression vs Enucleation Using Fractal Analysis with Panoramic Radiography for Odontogenic Cysts.

BACKGROUND Odontogenic cysts cause a decrease in bone trabeculation. This retrospective study of 37 patients with odontogenic cysts aimed to compare outcomes from treatment by decompression (marsupialization) versus enucleation, including the degree of trabeculation evaluated by fractal analysis (FA) using panoramic radiography (OPG). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 37 patients diagnosed with odontogenic cysts between January 2012 and January 2024 were included in the study.
