10-Year study reveals best surgery for jaw cysts?
NCT ID NCT06133764
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 50 people who had a type of jaw cyst called an odontogenic keratocyst removed using different surgical methods. Researchers tracked how long it took for the bone to heal and whether the cyst came back over 10 years. The goal was to find out which surgical approach works best to prevent recurrence.

- If successful, this analysis could help dentists and surgeons choose the best surgical method to reduce the chance of these jaw cysts coming back.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study, not a controlled trial. Results may not apply to all patients, and the best method remains uncertain.
