Management of large jaw cyst is challenging since high risks including pathologic fracture, limited opening, and insufficient bone healing occur after enucleation. The current case of concentrated growth factor (CGF) gel to fill defect after enucleation of large jaw cyst is rare. A 12-year-old boy with pain and swelling for 4 months in the left mandible region made a medical consultation at our hospital. Computerized tomography scan indicated that cystic lesion was found in the left mandible region. In this case, we present a patient with large jaw cyst (31 mm × 44 mm × 53 mm) who received enucleation followed by CGF gel filling the defect. The patient was discharged after 13 days without discomfort symptoms. The lesion size was reduced significantly at 1-month re-examination. No abnormality was detected in maxillofacial region at 1-year re-examination. Application of CGF gel is one of the possible options for filling defect after jaw cyst enucleation.
