title: [Treatment of follicular cysts of the mandible with reduction cystostomy].
abstract: A surgical technique is described for the treatment of a voluminous mandibular cyst whereby the contrasting need to preserve the vitality of the teeth whose apex was near the cyst wall and that of preventing marsupialisation due to the difficulty of providing continuous and effective postoperative care were met by cystotomy with reduction of the primary cyst to a small, periapical cyst. The operation was planned to take place in two stages, the idea being to secure radical removal of the remains of the cyst at a later date. An exploratory inspection after 14 months showed that a bone cavity of negligible size and with no sign of a wall was left. Two objectives were thus achieved: maintenance of the vitality of the teeth around the cyst; improved and spontaneous alignment of the teeth to facilitate and simplify complementary orthodontic management.
