Rate of spontaneous bone healing after marsupialization of a large radicular cyst : a case report

Abstract EN

Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cysts in the tooth bearing area.

Marsupialization is the process of making a bone window through which regular irrigation and packing are done, aiming to relieve the pressure inside the cyst and giving a chance for regeneration to take place in hard tissues, resulting in a smaller cystic cavity and thus making it more accessible for final enucleation.

This article studies a case of large radicular cyst marsupialized, in which there was a great decrease in size of the bony defect, making marsupialization a better option in larger cysts.
