Before surgery, at Birbe Clinic, a study of the cyst is carried out to analyze its origin, its size and, therefore, to define the most appropriate treatment. In this case, the treatment options vary according to the type of lesion, the extent and growth of the cyst. However, surgery is usually the first and often the only option to treat this type of lesion. During the operation, the surgeon removes the jaw cyst, usually under deep sedation as anesthesia. Once the cystic cavity is completely clean, bone regeneration techniques might help regenerate the bone volume. However, on occasions, this removal may include the extraction of a tooth, tissue and nearby jawbone if they are also damaged.

Jaw cyst surgery usually involves a painless postoperative period, although some swelling may appear a few days after the operation. The swelling will vary depending on the type and size of the cyst removed. During the postoperative period, it is essential for the patient to avoid smoking and maintain strict oral hygiene, as good cleanliness is the most important thing to avoid infections in the operated area. It is also crucial that the patient follows the surgeon's instructions and recommendations, as well as attending post-operative check-ups to avoid any setbacks and, of course, to ensure that the recovery is satisfactory. If a tooth, bone and tissue have had to be removed during surgery, it will be necessary to wait for the area to regenerate before proceeding with dental implants.

At Birbe Clinic we advise our patients to maintain good oral health and to remove wisdom teeth and other included teeth to reduce the possibility of cysts and other pathologies such as caries, infections or deterioration of teeth and gums. Undoubtedly, at Birbe Clinic, we have a team of doctors and surgeons who have the experience and knowledge necessary to find the right solution to each problem. We are the reference clinic for jaw cyst surgery in Barcelona.
