Three-dimensional changes in mandibular jaw cysts following decompression surgery: a retrospective cohort study
Decompression surgery is an effective first-stage treatment to reduce the dimensions of large mandibular odontogenic cysts. Within a range of limited clinical relevance, patient-related factors such as sex and age may influence dimensional changes, whereas lesion-specific characteristics did not. Cyst measurements on CBCT were consistent across observers, indicating good reproducibility.
