Abstract

Radicular cyst is a true cyst that develops in association with a root of non-vital teeth. Radicular cyst is the most common cyst in the oral cavity with a percentage of 50% of all cysts in the oral cavity. Radicular cysts are usually asymptomatic and may cause swelling, tenderness, or tooth mobility. Another problem is due to the neoplastic transformation of the epithelial lining; however, this case is very uncommon. Management of radicular cysts consists of endodontic treatment, apicectomy on the root of non-vital teeth or decompression by enucleation, and extraction of the related teeth.A 63-year-old female patient came to RSGM Prof. Soedomo with a complaint of swollen gums in the area of upper front teeth that had been present for approximately a year with no associated pain. The patient previously had a panoramic X-ray examination, and the result revealed a radicular cyst. Biopsy aspiration results showed that there were cholesterol crystal-filled cysts. There was no history of systemic disease. The patient was treated by enucleation of the radicular cyst followed by extraction of the related teeth using general anesthesia. The patient was periodically evaluated postoperatively. The wound healing process was evaluated as expected, and the patient's complaints reduced. Clinical examination accompanied by radiographic examination and biopsy aspiration showed the presence of a radicular cyst. Treatment options, including cyst enucleation, depended on several factors, such as an expansion of the lesion, size and association of the cyst with surrounding tissue, as well as the patient’s systemic condition. Irrigation and drainage of the bone cavity and curettage of the remaining tissue should be done to ensure the lesion has been removed completely. The remaining bone spicules were shaped and smoothed, and primary wound closure was performed in order to minimize recurrency and complication.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate various flap incision techniques utilized in the mandibular third molar removal surgery. A systematic review with a qualitative approach was conducted. Data were obtained from published journals through manual database searches via Scopus, ScienceDirect, and PubMed covering the period from 2000 to 2024, using predetermined keywords related to the topic. The PRISMA statement guidelines were followed, including the use of the official flow chart. Twenty-one journals were identified and analyzed to compare different flap designs in mandibular third molar extraction procedures, focusing on their relationship with wound healing processes and complication rates. Comparative analysis of flap incision techniques was performed through systematic evaluation of multiple journal data. Both envelope and triangular flaps demonstrated comparable healing times in third molar extraction procedures. The envelope flap, while minimally invasive, showed association with dry socket occurrence. The triangular flap provided superior surgical access and demonstrated pain reduction following mandibular third molar surgery. The pedicle flap showed effectiveness in preventing dry socket and alveolar osteitis. In addition, the Lingual-based triangular flap proved superior to buccal-based triangular flap in controlling postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus while reducing overall complications. This analysis demonstrates that flap design selection significantly influences postoperative outcomes in mandibular third molar surgical procedures. Both triangular and envelope flap can be considered for the procedure of mandibular wisdom teeth removal.
