- Abstract
- Cystic lesions in pediatric jaws can cause eruption disorders by displacing the erupting permanent teeth, and in the case of secondary infection, can cause swelling and pain. The treatment modalities for such cysts include cyst enucleation, marsupialization, and decompression. As compared to enucleation, decompression has the advantage of preventing damage to surrounding tissues and inducing spontaneous eruption of permanent teeth.
We report a case where decompression was performed using a stent designed for decompression and as a space maintainer in three patients with eruption disorder due to cystic lesion of the jaw. The eruption of the displaced permanent teeth was successfully induced by maintaining the eruption space and removing the cyst.
