Treatment of traumatic bone cyst of mandible by injection of autogeneic blood.
The traumatic bone cyst is usually successfully treated by surgical exploration and curettage of the walls of the bony cavity. This article presents a case of traumatic bone cyst which not only failed to respond to surgical curettage but also demonstrated a marked increase in size and a multilocular appearance on the radiograph. Injection of autogeneic blood into the bony cavity produced rapid bony filling and resolution of the lesion.
