title: Extravasation cyst diagnostic curettement: a treatment. Report of 15 cases and suggested treatment.
abstract: Fifteen cases of extravasation lesions of the mandible have been treated. In six cases, the lesions were entered surgically, explored, and directly curetted following preliminary diagnosis by needle aspiration. Healing was uneventful in all cases, and bone regeneration occurred rapidly. Hemorrhage was easily controlled, and the surgery was considered a minor procedure. Nine cases were treated by a combined diagnostic-curettement technique. The entire procedure was quickly performed under local anesthesia. There was little chance of injury to surrounding structures, and there were few postoperative sequelae. The resolution of the lesion and bone regeneration occurred in a time span similar to that of the surgical treatment of lesions.
