Application of decompression treatment for mandibular radicular cysts

This article presents a clinical case of the treatment of a mandibular radicular cyst from 3.6 teeth by creating a decompression "window", which allows the cyst volume to be reduced up to complete restoration  of the  bone structure  as  well  as  ensuring  the  integrity  of  the  surrounding  anatomical structures.  The  subsequent  filling  of  the  cavity  with  newly  formed  bone  is  due  to  secondary osteogenesis. This operation can be performed on an outpatient basis in a dental surgery room under local anesthesia
