Jaw Cysts

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in promoting osseous regeneration following cystic enucleation in the jaws. The study will assess bone healing outcomes and compare PRF application with conventional management methods.

This study tested whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) could help patients recover better after surgery to remove jaw cysts. A total of 29 patients with 33 jaw cysts were included. After surgery, they were randomly assigned to two groups: Ultrasound group (17 patients, 18 cysts): received daily LIPUS therapy for 10 days. Control group (12 patients, 15 cysts): received the same care but with a sham (inactive) device. The study was triple-blinded, meaning that the patients, the surgeon, and the evaluators did not know who was receiving real or sham treatment. Researchers measured recovery in several ways: Patient reports: pain, numbness, anxiety/depression, and oral health-related quality of life. Clinician monitoring: checked for any side effects (like infection or burns). Imaging tests (CBCT scans): tracked how well bone healed by measuring changes in cyst cavity size (volume reduction) and new bone density. All patients had the same type of surgery, performed by the same surgeon, and all provided written informed consent. The study followed international ethics and trial registration standards.

In this study, with the assistance of endoscopic technology and intraoperative navigation technology, the removal and curettage of large odontogenic jaw cyst occurred in the mandible were performed to reduce the rate of postoperative nerve injury. In this study, the investigators compared the efficacy of traditional extraction and curettage with endoscopic navigation assistance in the treatment of giant mandibular bone cysts. In this study, the rate of inferior alveolar nerve injury 1 month after surgery was taken as the main outcome index, and the recurrence rate 1 year after surgery was taken as the secondary outcome index, to explore whether endoscopic combined with intraoperative navigation-assisted treatment of giant mandibular bone cyst could achieve lower postoperative nerve injury rate and postoperative recurrence rate.
