Maxillofacial Cyst and Tumor Treatment
What are Maxillofacial Cysts and Tumors?
Maxillofacial cysts and tumors are abnormal growths or fluid-filled sacs that occur in the jawbones, oral cavity, and facial region. While most of these lesions are benign (non-cancerous), they can grow, cause facial deformities, pain, infection, and damage to teeth or bone if left untreated.
Common types include:
Odontogenic cysts (e.g. dentigerous cyst, radicular cyst)
Benign tumors (e.g. ameloblastoma, odontoma, ossifying fibroma)
Non-odontogenic cysts (e.g. nasopalatine duct cyst)
When is Treatment Needed?
Swelling or lump on the face, jaw, or inside the mouth
Persistent pain, numbness, or jaw discomfort
Tooth mobility or displacement due to underlying lesion
Cyst or tumor found on dental X-ray or CBCT scan
Benefits of Early Diagnosis & Surgical Treatment
Prevents further jawbone destruction or facial deformity
Preserves natural teeth and oral structures
Eliminates risk of infection, abscess, or malignancy
Restores normal facial contour and function
Boosts patient confidence and quality of life
Treatment Process
Clinical Exam & Imaging
