| Popis: | Decompression is a conservative treatment that has frequently been used in the treatment of large odontogenic cysts. Techniques described in the recent literature have involved only fixation of a stent to soft tissue. In the present investigators' experiences, this technique has a high failure rate because of the dislodgement of the stent, due to tearing of the sutures over the course of a long-span treatment period. This report describes the use of a molded plastic stent that is fixated to bone and soft tissue, allowing access for daily irrigation during the long-span treatment period. |
