Detecting fluid-filled sacs that form around a tooth root or in the jawbone with X-rays and removing them surgically.

A dental cyst is a fluid-filled sac that usually develops at the tip of an inflamed tooth root or around an impacted tooth. It may cause no symptoms for a long time and is often noticed on an X-ray taken for another reason.
Treatment is planned according to the size and origin of the cyst. For small cysts originating from a tooth, root canal treatment may be enough; growing cysts are removed surgically. At our clinic, cyst surgery is performed by our periodontist, Dr. Ömer Kazım Toprak.
The size of the cyst and its relationship to nearby structures are assessed with a panoramic X-ray and, if needed, a CT scan (CBCT).
Depending on the origin of the cyst, root canal treatment, root-end surgery or surgical removal of the cyst is planned.
The cyst is removed under local anesthesia. If needed, bone graft is placed in the cavity.
If the dentist considers it necessary, the removed tissue is sent for pathology examination.
Healing and bone fill are followed up with X-rays.
Cyst surgery is performed by our periodontist. If the cyst originates from a tooth, root canal treatment is planned together with our endodontist.

Examination, cyst surgery and bone grafting if needed.

Root canal treatment of the tooth causing the cyst.





Panoramic X-rays and CT scans (CBCT) are taken at the clinic.
No. A cyst usually keeps growing, even if slowly. For small cysts, treating the source may be enough; the decision is based on the X-ray.
The surgery is done under local anesthesia, so you do not feel pain during the procedure. There may be mild pain and swelling in the following days.
Most cysts of dental origin are benign. Even so, treatment is recommended because as they grow they can damage the bone and neighboring teeth.
It depends on the condition of the tooth. Where possible, the tooth is kept with root canal treatment and root-end surgery.
Most patients return to work or school within 1–2 days.
