Tooth cyst removal
A dental cyst is a neoplasm that occurs as a result of the body's defensive reaction to an injury or infection. It is a capsule containing an inflammatory fluid inside. The shell of this capsule protects the roots of the teeth from getting infected. Unfortunately, a cyst is a type of pathology that may not bother a person for a long time, up to sudden painful sensations. The disease can be detected by X-ray. At our dental clinic we remove cysts quickly, safely and completely painlessly. Below we will tell you about this procedure in a little more detail.
Etiology of dental cysts and consequences of pathology
In the early stages, symptoms of cysts may be completely absent. There are no painful sensations or external signs of the disease for quite a long time. That is why it is very important to be diagnosed on a regular basis. When the immune system is reduced, and a person caught a cold in the cyst cavity, the inflammatory process can progress. The patient has a fever, there is a general state of decreased strength, a cutting toothache, and swelling of the gums.
All of the above signs suggest an immediate visit to the dentist. If you ignore the help of specialists, it can lead to very serious consequences.
These include:
- blood poisoning (up to breaking the jaw in some cases);
- inflammation of soft tissues;
- inflamed lymph nodes;
- the emergence or exacerbation of existing maxillary sinusitis;
- tooth loss.
It is possible to lose anywhere from 1 to 5 teeth. Therefore, it is better not to take risks, but to visit the doctor in a timely manner for diagnosis, and if necessary, to provide assistance.
As for the causes of neoplasia, these are:
- Various diseases - pulpitis, paradontosis, in childhood the cyst can arise due to complications in the process of tooth growth;
- Caries - it is not always the causative agent of neoplasms, but many patients at the detection of cysts reveal carious lesions in the teeth.
Also, a cyst can appear due to poor quality treatment, when infection is introduced in the process. Therefore, it is very important to choose your dental clinic carefully.
Tooth neoplasm - stages of development
Unfortunately, most often we are approached by patients with cysts in the late stages of development. At this stage, the signs of the neoplasm are obvious. However, we will fight hard to save each client's tooth.
There are three stages of neoplasm progression: granuloma, cyst, abscess. The therapeutic technique, its effectiveness is directly determined by the size of the cyst. As for its detection, there is only one precise method - X-ray of the upper and lower jaw (panoramic). Therefore, our specialists recommend that you have not only regular oral examinations, but also x-rays once every 6 months.
Neoplasm therapy
Our specialists use exclusively gentle methods, which make it possible to remove the neoplasm, preserving the tooth at the same time. Therapy is effective in the early stages of the cyst, when its size does not exceed 8 millimeters.
The treatment includes several basic stages:
- with the help of a special antiseptic, the dental canals are flushed;
- fluid and pus are removed;
- in the process, agents are used to destroy the cyst capsule and harmful bacteria;
- then a paste is put in to restore the jawbone tissues;
- finally, the doctor seals the root canals.
After 6 months, the patient has to come in for follow-up diagnostics.
The most effective method is considered depophoresis - a modern, safe method of root and root canal treatment. This method is based on copper-calcium hydroxide, which is placed in the cavities. It is left there even after they are filled, thus providing a longer-term protection against harmful bacteria and infection.
Removal of the neoplasm is possible by full or partial extraction, or it is necessary to remove several molars with cysts.
In order to preserve the tooth, we perform a number of specific manipulations.
- Cystectomy (or cystomy). A method that allows us to remove the cyst and save the tooth. It is appropriate if the mass is larger than 8 mm. During the procedure, the gum tissue is incised, pus is removed, and a drug is applied. The patient is treated with antibiotics and gargles. This procedure is performed when a neoplasm spreads to one or more teeth. It is also used in the case of a cyst on the upper jaw, when the formation has caught the palate.
- Hemisection. This is one of the simplest methods of eliminating the neoplasm, but it requires a crown to be placed, due to the fact that one of the roots is removed along with the upper part of the tooth.
- Root extraction. Here, the cyst is liquidated in conjunction with the damaged part of the tooth.
- Apicoectomy. This is a quick and gentle procedure, which removes not only the focus of the infection, but also cuts off the injured part of the root. It is often used for anterior teeth.
Below is another technologically advanced way to remove the neoplasm.
Laser cyst removal
Laser elimination of the cyst can be called the most advanced method. It is a gentler and faster procedure compared to surgical intervention. This method has a lot of advantages: painlessness, precision exposure, no chance of infection in the future and fast recovery. This method is prescribed only after a preliminary diagnosis.
The main stages of the procedure are:
- the specialist opens the canal and expands it;
- a tube is inserted inside the cavity, at the end of which is a transmitter;
- the laser transmitter destroys all pathogenic bacteria and dries the canal;
- the cavity is filled with a disinfectant and filled.
Finally, the tooth is restored.
Restore
In order for rehabilitation to be successful, a few simple rules should be followed.
- Remove from your diet spicy, overly salty and sour foods.
- Avoid eating foods that are too hot or too cold.
Practice good oral hygiene (these are essential).
It will take approximately 30 days to fully recover.

It is worth restoring a lost tooth as early as possible, because delaying such a process can lead to unpleasant health consequences and undesirable costs in the future.
Patients who seek help for tooth loss too late unwittingly start the process of destruction of other adjacent teeth, because the load during chewing is not evenly distributed.
Dental implantation is one of the most reliable and effective procedures that allows you to restore one or more teeth.
The method of dental implantation is now very popular, because it helps patients to restore lost teeth both in the upper and lower jaws without grinding pine teeth, which is always carried out during prosthetics (crowns).
With implantation, the number of lost teeth does not matter. Dental implantation is considered to be the only right way out of care for everyone, because the healing rate of implants today is over 99%!
