감압술을 이용한 치성 낭종의 치료

Abstract

Cyst is a cavity filled with fluids and semi-fluids that is lined with epithelial cells. Odontogenic cysts are those that form within the jaw which origin from dental follicles, enamel epithelium remnants of the crown, Malassez epithelial cell rest and basal cell layer of the oral epithelium. In such cases, treatment methods such as enucleation, marsupialization, decompression, surgical excision etc. can be used according to the lesion's characteristics, size, relationship with the surrounding tissue, patient's age and developmental status. This case was to report an odontogenic cyst caused by an impacted immature permannent tooth and its treatment. The cyst was removed by decompression. Cystic cavity was healed with bone tissue and the impacted permanent tooth erupted without any recurred cystic lesion.
