The cysts common at the jaws

It could be seen various cysts in the jaws taking their source from teeth or not. Sometimes the jaw cysts can reach huge sizes without being noticed by the patient. Because of this reason, it had better get panoramic dental radiography at the patient’s routine controls. The cysts of jaws usually take the source of teeth. These cysts which can occur around the dental root can easily reach bigger sizes unless they are treated. It would not be enough to extract the tooth for patients who have a cyst around the dental root. If the tooth is extracted and the cyst is left in the bone, this cyst reaches huge sizes by continuing to gather. As a result of this, a situation can occur that lots of teeth have to be extracted. Therefore surgical operations have to be applied as soon as diagenesis cystic has been noticed.

Apical Resection

The apse and cystic lesions, which occur in the dental root because of different reasons, have been tried to be treated by cutting and removing the infected dental zone which is opened directly when the canal treatment would not be sufficient. This practice is called Apical Resection. Apical Resection is a treatment choice that has to be evaluated before the tooth extraction.

The circumstances that apical resection is executed

• The canal treatment is not finished by the reasons of the structure of the dental root or formal irregularity
• The canal treatment cannot be applied by the reason for a restoration which cannot be removed from the tooth
• If any of the materials have been broken during the canal treatment and if the broken material must be removed necessarily, to remove the material
• In these cases, patients continue suffering despite executed canal treatment
• In the circumstance that a cyst occurs at the dental root
• In these cases, if 1/3 part of the dental root which is into the bone is broken
