BURGOS, Javier Boris Adrián  e  VIRREYRA BLOOMFIELD, Johanna Valentina. Combined treatment of a long-standing radicular cyst: A clinical case report. Rev. Inv. Inf. Sal. [online]. 2024, vol.19, n.46, pp.133-142. ISSN 2075-6194.  https://doi.org/10.52428/20756208.v19i46.1125.

Radicular cysts are of odontogenic epithelial origin and occur due to inflammatory causes, as a result of pulp necrosis; they represent approximately 60 % of all odontogenic cysts. Decompression is a conservative technique for cystic lesions of the maxillary bones of considerable size. It consists of creating a communication between the cyst and the oral cavity by anchoring a tube or stent for drainage and continuous washing. The clinical case of a 24-year-old male patient with a large radicular cyst in the upper jaw with several years of evolution is presented; a combined treatment was performed, using the decompressive technique for 9 months and subsequently enucleation was performed along with guided bone regeneration, with good evolution.

Palavras-chave : decompression; guided bone regeneration; radicular cyst.
