Do mandibular cysts have to be surgically removed?

Mandibular cysts must be surgically removed. If the mandibular cyst is relatively small, a root canal can be filled or the stump can be extracted and the cyst removed. If it is a moderate mandibular cyst, an open reduction is done. In the case of larger mandibular cysts, a cyst enucleation will be considered to reduce the size of the lesion, and then the next step in treatment will be determined based on the post-operative situation. If a mandibular cyst is not removed in time, it may cause damage to the bone wall or alveolar bone, or even resorption of the alveolar bone, and eventually tooth loss will occur. Therefore, when a mandibular cyst occurs, you should go to the oral surgery department of a regular hospital for a CT examination to clarify the location of the mandibular cyst, determine the appropriate surgical procedure, and consider surgical removal treatment as soon as possible. Therefore, it is recommended to cooperate with the professional doctor for CT examination after the specific surgical method for mandibular cysts, and only after combining the diagnosis and treatment advice of the professional doctor can it be clarified.
