The Treatment of Different Large Odontogenic Cysts in Children Only Using Acrylic Obturator-Guided Decompression: A Long-Term Clinical Study

Aim: Various odontogenic cysts may occur in the jawbones during childhood, including radicular cysts, dentigerous and keratocysts. Treatment for such ranges from conservative approaches to radical surgical procedures. The present study evaluates effect of only decompression method treating various children. 
 Materials Methods: A total 16 pediatric patients (four girls, 12 boys; mean age 9.6) with six developmental (one keratocyst, five cysts) ten inflammatory (radicular) were treated using an acrylic obturator as a placeholder. average follow-up time was 108.75 months. All evaluated clinically radiologically one, three, six, months after operation annually thereafter.
 Results: duration treatment 7.3 First, primary teeth associated cyst extracted. In four patients, spontaneous eruption impacted permanent not observed; these erupted orthodontic treatment. two cases extracted enucleated consultation. remaining 14 cases, successfully (87.5%), healed completely treatment.
 Conclusions: To avoid problems, procedures should be preferred Decompression therapy placeholder is effective patients; this approach protects maintains teeth.
