These are for 3D imaging, used for accurate surgical procedure planning

This is used for tissue analysis to confirm tumour type and malignancy. 

Clinical examination: Evaluations were conducted of the jaw, oral tissue and the surrounding structure. 

Digital X-rays (RVG OPG)

 This is used to evaluate the bone involvement and to locate the cysts or tumour.

Enucleation and curettage

Minor cysts can be eliminated through enucleation, which is the process of removing the entire cyst from the jawbone. It is done under anaesthesia, and the doctor makes incisions in the gum tissue to remove the cysts. The curettage procedure is done by removing the lining of the contents from the jawbone to prevent recurrence.

Faq

What triggers oral cysts and tumours?

Cysts and tumours can be triggered by a number of factors, such as infections, inflammations, trauma, such as injury, abnormal developmental problems, poor lifestyle, such as consumption of alcohol and smoking.

Cysts are non-cancerous growths that have fluid, whilst tumours are solid growths that can be cancerous or non-cancerous.

Cysts and tumour treatments can be invasive, but their degree is dependent on the size, the location, and it involves a surgical procedure. The procedure is done under anaesthesia to ensure the patient is comfortable.

Cysts and tumours can generally affect any age group, but the age of 50+ has a higher risk of developing cysts and tumours, and there are some groups of people with abnormal jaw tissue development, people who indulge in excess alcohol consumption and smoking.

The healing process may vary depending on each person, depending on the severity of the case, the treatment method and the type of growth, but it generally takes around 3 weeks for visible progress and full healing can take around 8 weeks.
