Background To assess the efficacy of modified surgery in the preservation of tooth pulp affected by jaw cyst. Methods Fifty-four impacted teeth in 16 cases of jaw cyst treated by our department were selected between September 2015 and October 2016. We observed the pulps' activity in the involved teeth and the efficacy of surgery. Results Out of 54 impacted teeth in 16 patients, after 12-24 months’ follow-up,45 affected teeth recovered well, whereas nine teeth showed adverse symptoms such as redness and swelling in the apical area, fistula, and pain. These symptoms resolved after postoperative root canal therapy. Chewing function was restored well. The bone cavity gradually reduced and finally disappeared, and bone density returned to normal after long-term follow-up. ConclusionPreservation of the involved tooth pulp for the treatment of jaw cyst by performing an improved operation method was effective. |
