132
Curettage
Curettage describes a surgical scraping of the cyst from the bony walls of the maxilla or mandible with a special instrument called a curette that has a scoop, at its tip.
For this procedure, it is important to create a bony window to expose the cyst in the maxilla or mandible.
133
Marsupialization
Marsupialization refers to creating a surgical window in the wall of cyst & evacuation of cystic contents.
This process decreases intracystic pressure & promotes shrinkage of cyst & bone fill (endosteal bone formation)
**used when close to vital strucutures **

# Carnoy solution
substance used as a complementary treatment after the conservative excision of odontogenic keratocyst. The application of Carnoy's solution promotes a superficial chemical necrosis and is intended to reduce recurrence rates.
The application of Carnoy’s solution, a chemical solution composed of 60% ethanol, 30% chloroform, and 10% acetic acid, in conjunction with surgery, is known to reduce the rate of KOT recurrence. An FDA ban in 2013 on the use of chloroform for compounding led a number of surgeons to adopt a modified Carnoy’s solution in the use of Odontogenic Keratocyst

Marsupialization: Indications
Anatomical considerations
Surgical access
Assistance in eruption of teeth
Extent of surgery
Size of cyst
Anatomical considerations – Proximity of cyst to vital structures like maxillary sinus, Neurovascular bundle.
Surgical access – If access to all portions of cyst is difficult.
Assistance in eruption of teeth – In a young patient with a dentigerous cyst, it permits eruption of unerupted teeth.
Extent of surgery – Marsupialization is preferred in a unhealthy or debilitated patient , because it is simple & less stressful for patient.
Size of cyst – In a very large cyst, there is a risk of fracture of jaw during enucleation procedure
140
Marsupialization: Relative Contraindications
Recurrent Odontogenic Keratocyst
Recurring Cysts
Smaller Cysts (< 2X2 cm)
141
Marsupialization: Advantages

Enucleation means shelling out the entire cystic lesion without rupture.
This procedure is usually indicated for removal of cyst that is not very large in size and has minimum risk of injury to vital anatomical structures during the surgical procedure.
Enucleation allows for cystic cavity to be covered by a mucoperisteal flap & the space fills with blood clot, which will eventually organize & form normal bone.
145

149
Combination of Marsupialization and Cystectomy
Cystectomy after Marsupialization (decompression) is a conservative technique that decreases the size of the cystic cavity and reduces the risk of intrabony defects, which could be induced by primary enucleation.
In addition, it can also save the adjacent anatomic structures- As the surgery is carried out in 2 stages
150
# stages of combined marsupialization and cystectomy
Stage 1 – Marsupialization
Stage 2 - Cystectomy
151
Combination of Marsupialization and Cystectomy
Stage 1
In these cases, the Marsupialization(decompression) is performed usually on on huge cystic lesions of the mandible.
During this process, a decrease in the size of the lesion and the growth of normal oral tissues was observed. The size of the lesion decreased until the time of cystectomy.
152
Combination of Marsupialization and Cystectomy
stage 2
Cystectomy is carried out later after the size of the cyst decreases considerably in size over a period of time and surgery could be performed under local anesthesia.
153
Enucleation followed by Peripheral ostectomy
exactly what it says, prevent recurrence is main goal
154
Curretage followed by Peripheral ostectomy
Peripheral ostectomy is defined as a peripheral bone. reduction with
powered hand-piece and rotary instruments, done after enucleation of the cystic lesion
155

* Ultimately, cortical bone will? result?
* Reduced blood supply causes?
* Infection and associated inflammation (edema) spreads into marrow spaces and causes compression of blood vessels and therefore causes severe compromise of blood supply.
* Pus travel through haversian & volkaman's canal and accumulation beneath the periosteum & elevating it from cortex & there by reducing the blood supply.
* Ultimately, cortical bone perforates, compromising periosteal blood supply as well.
* Reduced blood supply causes necrosis of bone.

* The dead bone is surrounded by the new viable bone this is called?

* Small section of necrotic bone may get completely lysed while large get localized and get separated from the shell of new bone by bed of granulation tissue.
* The dead bone is surrounded by the new viable bone this is called involucrum.
* Then pus penentrate the periosteum & mucosal & cuteneous fistulae develop and thereby discharging the purulent pus.
* Intraoral or extraoral fistulas usually develop.

bone turnover.
A technetium bone scan is more sensitive than plain film imaging
in detecting early infections and may be positive as early as three days.
However, bone scans in general are sensitive for bone turnover, but
are generally not specific for osteomyelitis. There is a high
incidence of false positive osteomyelitis nuclear medicine studies. of soft tissue infections

Both medical and surgical interventions are required.
Medical therapy alone will not suffice, and will only delay appropriate treatment.
Tissues from the affected site should be sent for microbiological exam, culture and sensitivity, and histopathological examination.
Immunocompromised states should be controlled medically to achieve optimum response to therapy
165
Osteomyelitis – Surgical Treatment
Sequestrectomy

171
Principle of Excisional Biopsy
The entire lesion, along with 2 to 3 mm of normal appearing surrounding tissue, is excised.
172
Incisional Biopsy
* Some lesions are too large to excise initially without having established diagnosis or are of such a nature that excision would be inadvisable.

185
Spread of Oro-Facial Infections
* Generally, infections follow?

* Infective processes can spread by disruption of ?
Spread of Oro-Facial Infections
* Generally, infections follow the path of least resistance.
* This is dictated by anatomic location of teeth, position of muscle attachments, bone density, etc.
* Infective processes can spread by disruption of intervening fascial planes.
186
Fascial Spaces
* Potential spaces between the fascia and underlying organs/tissues.
* In a healthy state, these spaces do not exist. However, these spaces can be distended by fluid or infective process.
* Thus infective process can spread from one area to the adjoining ones by disruption of intervening fascial planes or around perforating blood vessels and nerves
