Abstract
This study evaluated the use of endoscopy to examine jaw cysts during the operation. Fifteen jaw cysts were explored with a endoscope immediately before and after enucleation. Endoscopic findings were evaluated and recorded with video tape. Before enucleation, there were many white fibrous floating materials within the cystic cavity. Cystic lining showed smooth and regular appearance with capillary network. However, there were some fibrous scar tissues and irregular architecture in preoperative infection. After enucleation, there were white shiny bony surfaces with fresh vascular network. In some cases, floating fibrous tissues remained after removal.
