낭종은 환자의 연령, 낭종의 종류 및 위치에 따라 치료방법을 선택하는 것이 바람직하며, 환자의 연령이 어린 경우에는 조대술을 통하여 낭종에 이환된 치아를 가능한 보존시키는 것이 바람직한 것으로 생각된다. 낭종에 포함되었던 치아는 조대술로 낭종을 제거후에 생리적인 맹출이 이루어지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며 기능도 정상적으로 수행하는 것으로 판단된다. 그러나, 조대술을 이용하여 시술한 후에는 맹출된 치아에 병리조직이 잔존되어 재발의 가능성이 있으므로 주기적인 관찰이 요구될 것으로 생각된다.

Dentigerous cyst (DC) is an odontogenic cyst associated with the crown of an impacted, embedded, unerupted, or developing tooth. It is the second most common type of odontogenic cysts, accounting for 14% to 24% of all jaw cysts. Although these cysts occur more frequently during the second and third decades of life, they can also be found in children and adolescents in the mixed dentition stage. Treatment of the odontogenic cyst involves enucleation or marsupialization/decompression methods. The latter approach is preferred for larger cysts, and it is especially helpful in adolescent patients in conserving the unerupted permanent successors. The aim of treatment for DC is the complete elimination of pathology and maintenance of dentition with minimal surgical intervention. Recently defined criteria for the selection of treatment modality include the cyst size and location of the cyst, patient age, dentition involved, stage of root development, position of the tooth involved in the jaw, and relationship with the surrounding vital structure. Marsupialization or decompression technique has been advocated by several authors for treating DCs among young patients. In this conservative technique, the creation of an accessory cavity helps relieve intra-cystic pressure and accelerate the healing of cystic lesion. This technique has been successfully performed and is indicated for growing children and adolescents. Here, we report a large cyst lesion in the mandible treated by marsupialization for conservative management. In conclusion, successful reduction in size was achieved, and intraoperative complication could be prevented.

낭종의 적출과 골 이식은 낭종 제거후 악골에서 발생하는 광범위한 골결손에 선택적인 치료이다. 자가 망상골이 최상의 이식재료이며 수년동안 임상적인 성공을 가져왔다. 그러나 이식재료를 얻기 위해서는 유병률이 증가되는 부가적인 외과적 시술이 요구되며, 다발성 결손 또는 이식이 광범위 할 때 자가골의 양이 불충분할지도 모른다. 변형된 방법으로 동종골 이식이 이용되어져 왔다. 동종골 이식의 한종류가 탈회 동결-건조 동종골(DFDBA)이다. 이 연구는 낭종 적출과 탈회 동결-건조 동종골 이식후 악골 결손에 일어나는 변화를 악골의 낭종 병소를 세집단으로 나누어 평가하였다. 낭종 적출 후 Group A는 탈회 동결-건조 동종골을 이식하였고, Group B는 자가골 이식을 하였으며 Group C은 다른 이식재를 이용하지 않고 낭종 적출만을 시행하였다. 세 집단은 술전, 수술 직후, 술후 6, 12, 24, 36개월의 임상적 검사와 방사선학적 골밀도를 조사하였다. Digital densitometer를 이용한 골밀도 검사에서 Group A과 Group B의 경우 비슷한 골밀도를 보였으며 Group C와 비교시 뚜렷한 증가를 볼 수 있었다. 그러므로 이 연구로부터 낭종 적출술과 같은 광범위한 악골 결손에 탈회 동결-건조 동종골 이식은 충분한 골형성을 보여 자가골 이식의 대체재료로서 고려되어질 수 있다.

Purpose: Some recent literatures report that it is possible to recover defected areas caused by enucleation of relatively large jaw cysts without using bone grafts. The aim was to find out whether spontaneous recovery of defected area with time occurred and what the contributing factors were. Materials and methods: In total, 194 patients were considered as patients. Out of these 194 patients, 74 patients who had no wound dehiscence and who were available for follow-up studies were selected. They were classified into two groups according to the size of radiolucent area in the preoperative panoramic radiographs: in one group, it was larger than $3{\times}4cm$, while in the other group, it was smaller than $3{\times}4cm$. Follow-up panoramic radiographs were taken immediately after the surgery, then after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. On those radiographs, changes in size and density of the defected areas were observed using the Gray-level histogram of Adobe photoshop v7.0. Correlation between bone regeneration and factors such as the type and size of the cysts, age, sex, site of the cysts and systemic disease was evaluated using the General repeated measure and Mann-Whitney Test. Results: Analyses of panoramic radiographs showed that the recovery of radiopacity after 12 months was more than 97% on average in defected areas that were smaller than $3{\times}4cm$. in the defected areas that were larger than $3{\times}4cm$, considerable portion showed recovery of radiopacity. No statistically significant change was observed in bone density according to the type of cysts. Young patients under 20 years of age with highly active metabolism presented more significant bone regeneration than patients over 20 years of age. Bone regeneration was more hampered in patients who had medical disease, compared with patients who didn’t have any medical problem. No statistically significant change was seen in bone density according to sex. Changes in bone density according to the site of cysts such as maxilla, mandible, anterior or posterior region were not considered to be significant. Conclusion: Analyses of panoramic radiographs suggest that in approximately 12 months after the enucleation of cysts, clinically acceptable spontaneous bone regeneration can be observed even though normal bone graft procedures have not been applied.

Dentigerous cysts are closed epithelium-lined sacs formed about the crowns of unerupted teeth. Most of them probably are the result of degenerative changes in the reduced enamel epithelium. The authors observed 1 3 year old girl with a swelling and buccal bony expansion of the left mandible. Roentgen examination showed a cystic area in the left side of mandible. Under general anesthesia by means of nasotracheal intubation, intraorally, the operation by enucleation consisted in surgical removal of dentigerous cyst and the left unerupted Ist molar of mandible. The cavity was partially sutured and packed with iodoform gauze. Healing was uneventful.

Objectives: Since World Health Organization reclassified the odontogenic keratocyst as a keratocystic odontogenic tumor(KCOT) in 2005, management of KCOT remains controversial. The purpose of the this study is to present a current concept of the treatment of the KCOT. Methods: Recent articles were focused on the method of the surgical therapy and the recurrence rate of KCOT. Results: The treatment modality is divided into conservative treatment-such as simple enucleation with or without curettage or marsupialization-and aggressive treatment including peripheral ostectomy, chemical curettage with Carnoy's solution, and resection. Conclusions: Keratocystic odontogenic tumors have higher recurrence rates than other odontogenic lesions; thus, the selected type of treatment is very important.

Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study is to find the differentiating characteristics of cystic and cystic-appearing lesions that involve the impacted mandibular third molar by analyzing panoramic radiographs and computed tomography images, and to aid the preoperative diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Eighty-one patients who had a mandibular cystic or cystic-appearing lesion that involved impacted mandibular third molar and underwent cyst enucleation were included in the study. The preoperative panoramic radiograph and computed tomography findings were analyzed in accordance to the histopathologic type. Results: Most of the cystic lesions containing the mandibular third molar were diagnosed as a dentigerous cyst (77.8%). The occurrence of mesio-distal displacement of the third molar was more frequent in the odontogenic keratocyst (71.4%) and in the ameloblastoma (85.7%) than in the dentigerous cyst (19.1%). Downward displacement was primarily observed in each group. Odontogenic keratocyst and ameloblastoma showed more aggressive growth pattern with higher rate of bony discontinuity and cortical bone expansion than in dentigerous cyst. Conclusion: When evaluating mandibular cystic lesions involving the impacted mandibular third molar, dentigerous cyst should first be suspected. However, when the third molar displacement and cortical bone absorption are observed, then odontogenic keratocyst or ameloblastoma should be considered.

Many alloplastic materials have been used as the bony substitute in large bony defects caused by fracture, periodontitis, & cyst, etc. Nowadays Hydroxyapatite(HAP) is the most usable material as the bony substitute. The reasonable properties of HAP are nontoxic, biocompatible to host tissues & have osteoconductivity. Other bioceramic materials are recommended as the bony substitute with high success rate. We have studied the clinical use of HAP as the bony substitute in the defected area caused by cyst. The reasonalbe & successful results are obtained. The results were as followed. 1. Better prognosis was obtained in the case of HAP & bone mixed graft than HAP graft only. And the best prognosis was obtained in the case of iliac bone graft. 2. Better prognosis was obtained in Mx. than in Mn. 3. It seems that the soft tissue ingrowth into the HAP granule play an important role in the success of the HAP graft. 4. Though the flap covering the HAP granules was perforated, the relative good prognosis was obtained by re-suturing the perforeated site.

유표피낭종은 구강 내에서 드물게 보이는 양성병소이며 선천적 혹은 후천적으로 발생할 수 있다. 이 병소는 대개 느리게 자라는 낭종으로, 저작이나 발음을 방해 할 정도로 크기가 커지거나 2차 감염이 발생하기 전 까지는 주로 무증상을 보인다. 따라서 진단이 지연되는 경우가 많으며, 신생아나 영유아에서 진단되는 경우는 매우 드문 병소이다. 유표피낭종은 대부분 구강저에서 발생하며 상순에서의 발생은 드물다. 이 증례에서는 29개월 환아의 상순 내측 점막에서 촉진되는 종물을 구강 내 접근법을 이용하여 외과적으로 적출하고, 조직 병리학적으로 유표피 낭종으로 진단하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral cavity, and it accounts for about 90% of all oral cancers. Several risk factors for oral SCC have been identified; however, SCC associated with odontogenic keratocysts have rarely been reported. The present study describes the case of a 36-year-old man with SCC of the right ramus of the mandible, which was initially diagnosed as a benign odontogenic cyst. He underwent enucleation at another hospital followed by segmental mandibulectomy and fibular free flap reconstruction at our institution. In this case, we introduce a patient with oral cancer associated with odontogenic cyst on the mandible and report a satisfactory outcome with wide resection and immediate free flap reconstruction.
