OBJECTIVE Dentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. They usually occur singly and are located in the mandible. Nonsyndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts (NSBDC) are rarely seen during childhood. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term effects of the marsupialization technique in growing children with NSBDC. STUDY DESIGN ...

Therefore, the fistulotomy is regarded as the standard treatment for simple anal fistulae and is the most widely-performed procedure. Although whether to perform a fistulotomy or a fistulectomy may be controversial, the fistulotomy is thought to be preferable because healing times are significantly shorter whereas recurrence rates are comparable. Compared with the fistulotomy, the fistulectomy ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate laparoscopic transperitoneal marsupialization of pelvic lymphocysts at the time of laparoscopically directed assessment of response to first-line therapy in a population of patients treated for International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (FIGO) stage IC-IIC epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS Between March 1995 and March 1998, eight patient...

BACKGROUND A number of techniques have been described for treatment of patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. The author reports his experience in the surgical management of pilonidal sinus using radiofrequency sinus excision technique. The results are compared with those obtained after excision and marsupialization procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen patients were opera...

AIM This is the first report to illustrate the marsupialization as an effective treatment for a Down Syndrome (DS) patient presenting a residual periapical cyst. BACKGROUND These cysts occur within the alveolar ridge, usually at the local site of a previously extracted tooth that did not received proper curettage; usually the surgical excision of a cyst and also the vigorous curettage of a so...

This study compares the use of iodoform gauze and obturators made by hot pressure casting technique in the opening maintenance after the jaw cyst marsupialization. Forty patients with jaw cyst marsupialization in either retromolar pad or vestibular groove were randomly allocated to either experimental group (hot pressure casting obturator) or control group (iodoform gauze) and monitored for a p...

The dentigerous cyst (DC) is the most common type of developmental odontogenic cyst. It is usually asymptomatic and associated with the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth. However, after a long duration, it is likely to cause significant bone resorption, cortical expansion, and tooth displacement. This report presents a large infected DC in the mandible of a 12-year-old female patient. The...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Nasolabial cysts are rare nonodontogenic cysts arising commonly in the nasal alar region. Intraoral sublabial resection of nasolabial cysts is considered the standard treatment modality. In the past 16 years, transnasal endoscopic marsupialization has emerged as an alternative approach for these lesions. A systematic review on this entity was performed to evaluate manageme...

Dentigerous cyts are form of benevolent odontogenic cyts which are related to crowns of permament teeth. Often, they are described as unilocular radiolucent lesions and barely seen in childhood era. This article aims to show a case about 11 year old boy having a dentigerous cyst associated with the mandibular canine and a premolar. Extraction of the primary molars and marsupialization of the le...
