Suction drainage in the postsurgical treatment of jaw cysts.
Intraoral or extraoral closed suction drainage was used following the surgical enucleation of 42 jaw cysts. Primary healing was observed in 38 (90%) of the patients and complete osseous regeneration was achieved in 17 of 30 patients. In the remaining patients, a slight loss in width and height of the involved area occurred. No functional disturbances were caused by these bony reductions.
