Pre-treatment protocols Panoramic radiography used to provide visualisations of the maxilla and mandible. X-rays will display the degree of impact on case, caused by the<unk> . A computed tomography and panoramic x-ray must be undertaken in order to observe the severity of internal complications. These scans allow for the observation of the<unk>  size, radiolucency, cortical bone, dentition, root, and vestibular zone. In some cases, the dentition may be embedded into the cavity walls of the lesion, depending on the position of expansion at the<unk>  tissue. The diagnosis of a smaller sized<unk>  is related to the attachment of only two teeth. While, a greater sized<unk>  develops over two teeth. Presentation of a greater sized lesion usually requires a biopsy for a differential diagnosis and a precise treatment plan. Treatment process The unilocular and multilocular nature is imperative to the determination of treatment style. Local anesthesia is regularly provided as the<unk>  is embedded within the tissue structure of the jaw and requires an invasive procedure for a safe and accurate extraction. For unilocular<unk> s with minimal tissue deterioration, "enucleation, curettage, and marsupialization" is a suitable treatment plan. Notably, the performance of enucleation or curettage as the primary action is linked to an incomplete extraction of the<unk>  and is only recommended to the less invasive lesions. Multilocular<unk> s require a more invasive procedure such as "peripheral ostectomy, marginal resection, or partial jaw resection".<unk> s associated with a more severe structural damage are encouraged to undergo marsupialization as either an initial or supplementary surgery. The frequency of reappearance is likely due to the lingering cystic tissue structures that remain after the performance of curettage. The incorporation of a "dredging method i.e. repetition of enucleation and curettage" is also suggested until the remnants of the<unk>  diminishes for certain. The treatment ensures scar tissue is removed to promote the successful reconstruction of osseous material for jaw preservation. Alongside the main treatments, bone allograft application, cryosurgery, and apicoectomy are available but have not been consistently recommended. Though Carnoy's solution, the chloroform-free version, is recommended with the treatment as it degenerates the majority of the damaged dental lamina. The most effective type of treatment remains unknown due to the lack of detailed data from reported cases. Post-treatment protocols Follow-up appointments are necessary after the removal of the<unk>  as there is a high chance of remission, which may be exacerbated in cases dealing with "cortical plate perforation". The<unk>  has a significant remission rate of 21 to 55% that can potentially develop during the period of 0.5 to 7 years post-surgery. Cases occupied with a lower risk lesion are expected to continue appointments with physicians for up to 3 years post-surgery. A higher risk lesion is encouraged to consistently consult with physicians during a 7-year period after treatment. Remission events require immediate attention and appropriate procedures such as enucleation or curettage. In more damaging cases of remission, tissue resection, and marsupialization may have to be performed.
