Cystectomy

Cyst removal is a discipline of removing hollows encased in tissue that cause tooth and/or bone decay. Cysts are silent killers because patients often have no symptoms and if within a certain period of time the dentist isn’t visited and an X-ray image isn’t made and the problematic inflammation isn’t ascertained, cysts can extensively grow and destroy everything in their way: the bone, tooth and/or neighbouring teeth. They arise as a result of chronic inflammation around the root of the tooth that hasn’t been treated or the root canal treatment has not proved to be effective. Some patients also have a genetic predisposition and are prone to the appearance of cystic changes in the oral cavity. If the patient notices a change in the colour of the tooth, if he has a large untreated cavity for a longer period of time, an appearance of a bulge (ball) on the outer gum area or on the palatal side, pain and sudden swelling that can subside, but also return after some time, it’s time to visit the dentist. After clinical and X-ray diagnostics, the dentist determines whether a cyst has formed, what size is it and directs the patient to an oral surgeon that will surgically remove it. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia for smaller cysts, they are quickly removed and postoperatively the patient feels wonderful. If the cyst has affected the apexes of the roots of the teeth, they are removed and the surgeon closes the canals in retrograde, but if the cyst has affected the majority of the tooth, it is removed together with the cyst.
In case of large and complicated cysts, the patient can be directed to the maxillofacial surgery.
