    Jaw Cysts Treatment

    After visiting the dentist due to the symptoms of jaw cyst, the specialist may diagnose a cyst during the first examination. The dentist can drain the liquid inside the jaw cyst with the help of a medical needle. If the same problem recurs after this procedure, the cyst is removed by surgical operation. The dentist and the patient determine how the process will proceed.

    The cyst can be removed as a single piece (enucleation) or it can be removed by pieces (marsupialization). The one-piece procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. If the cyst is too large to be removed in one operation, the size is first reduced and then the site is cleared. In this surgery, a small hole is made in the area and the fluid in the cyst is drained. Afterwards, the cyst is removed.
