Tooth Cyst Removal

Tooth cyst, what is it?

Tooth cyst is one of the variations of periodontitis, which represents a focus of destruction of bone tissue. It has a rounded shape on radiographic examination and is clearly linked to the root of the tooth. The cyst increases in size for a long time and its growth is not accompanied by unpleasant sensations for the patient. Only during periods of exacerbation, signs of periodontitis appear.

What is a tooth granuloma?

A granuloma is a small cyst. If left untreated, the granuloma grows in size over time and becomes a cystic granuloma, and then a cyst. Both the granuloma and the cyst have clear contours on X-rays.

How can you identify or suspect the presence of a tooth cyst?

  • Tooth discoloration, a large cavity without pain, lack of responsiveness to stimuli
  • Previously painful tooth that spontaneously stopped hurting
  • Previously treated root canal that periodically bothers the tooth
  • Pain when pressing on the tooth, even though the tooth is "dead"
  • Periodic appearance of a "pimple" with pus on the gums near the tooth (disappears on its own), usually without pain
  • "Flux" or subperiosteal abscess during an exacerbation of the process (swelling of the gums in the area of several teeth)

Diagnosis of a tooth cyst

To obtain accurate diagnostic conclusions, after a dental examination and medical history collection, instrumental examination is carried out using computed tomography. After a comprehensive assessment of the cystic formation, a treatment protocol is drawn up. iStomatolog clinic applies the latest technologies and drugs that allow:

  • Remove the cyst without surgery
  • Save the tooth
  • Fully restore dental functions

Choosing conservative treatment for a tooth with a cyst relieves the patient of the stress caused by the use of radical (surgical) methods. If it is possible to choose a therapeutic method, we always use it, even if the treatment process is associated with certain difficulties. Our dentists have the highest qualifications, and therefore the results always justify the decisions made.

What are the methods of treating a tooth cyst?

  • Extraction of the tooth with the cyst
  • Surgical removal of the tooth cyst (cystectomy)
  • Treatment of the cyst with preservation of the tooth at iStomatolog.

    Treatment of teeth with periapical cyst

    A tooth cyst is a cavity formation on the root of a tooth. It is a dense bubble filled with fluid containing dead cells, bacteria, and tissue breakdown products. A small cyst is called a granuloma, a larger pathology is a cystic granuloma, and the next form is a tooth cyst. On X-rays, all three pathological structures have clear contour outlines.

    As the mass of the contents increases, the cyst increases in size and begins to compress the surrounding tissues. For a long time, a person does not feel any unpleasant symptoms, especially in the case of cysts developing on depulped teeth. At a later stage of the process, redness of the gums and swelling in the area of the affected tooth appear, accompanied by a dull pain, sometimes a fever.

    Like any inflammatory process, headache, general malaise, and weakness can occur. If the pathology is complicated by suppuration, complications such as lymphadenitis, phlegmon, periostitis, and abscess can arise. Cysts on the teeth of the upper and lower jaw are the cause of thinning and fragility of the bone tissue.

    Stages of non-surgical treatment of a tooth cyst

    1 Stage

    Conducting a computed tomography to determine the size of the cyst

    2 Stage

    Development and sealing of root canals under a microscope

    Root canal sealing: the dentist removes old paste, fragments of instruments (if they are there). Depending on the indications, treatment is carried out under a microscope or without it. Canal cleaning: special endodontic instruments are used (AET - anatomo endodontic treatment).
    3 Stage

    Laser treatment and medication-based sterilization of the root canals

    Processing with PARCAN medication. This is a stabilized solution of three percent sodium hydrochloride, specially developed for flushing root canals. The composition effectively destroys pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, as well as dissolves residual fragments of pulp and smeared dentin formed after using endodontic instruments. Canal sterilization with a laser or ozone: the procedure is absolutely painless and does not cause discomfort. Laser sterilization enhances the bactericidal effect of the antiseptic, reduces the intensity of the inflammatory process, and contributes to reducing swelling.
    4 Stage

    Filling the root canals with special pastes to stimulate bone tissue regeneration in the cyst area

    Filling the canal with Vitapex paste (Japan). This highly effective antibacterial material is based on iodoform and calcium hydroxide. Vitapex disinfects the canals, binds and neutralizes endotoxins, and stimulates bone tissue cell synthesis. The paste is used as a temporary material for filling root canals during cyst treatment.
    5 Stage

    Temporary filling

    This is the final stage of the initial treatment of the cyst
    6 Stage

    Radiological control after 10-14 days with repeat canal treatment and filling of the cyst with paste

    The treatment can last for 2-3 months or more, depending on the dynamics of the healing process. After the cyst has reduced by at least 50%, the root canals are filled with paste for permanent sealing, which prevents the recurrence of the cyst in the future. Then a photopolymer filling or a dental crown is placed on the tooth.

    Prevention

    Preventive measures can help reduce the risk of cyst formation on the root of the tooth. First of all, it is necessary to perform hygiene procedures correctly and regularly, and to timely treat caries, not allowing the development of inflammatory and carious processes in dental tissues, and not postpone treatment for nerve inflammation.

    You should visit the dentist every six months and schedule a professional teeth cleaning. If you experience mild discomfort, you should immediately make an appointment with a doctor. Detecting pathologies at an early stage will help keep your teeth healthy and avoid expensive and lengthy treatment. Balanced nutrition, the use of quality toothpaste and accessories for cleaning teeth play an important role in preventing caries and periodontal diseases.

    FAQ

    The use of a microscope in dentistry helps prevent inaccuracies during filling and complications during root canal re-treatment. The application of a microscope is especially relevant when treating difficult-to-access, sclerosed canals and when extracting broken instruments and pins.
    Thanks to patented paste formulas, the toothpastes provide intensive regeneration of jawbone tissue in the presence of cysts and also have a pronounced bactericidal effect.
    Endodontic treatment of teeth is a system of dental methods that use special instruments when treating pulpitis and periodontitis. AET systems allow for the expansion of the root canal and the cleaning of its walls from infected tissues without violating the anatomical structure and thinning the walls of tooth roots.
    Such cases can be explained by an individual's reaction to medications (lack of sensitivity to some drugs, due to stress), strong and prolonged inflammatory processes, taking certain medications (including pain relievers), and alcohol before a visit to the dentist. At iStomatolog clinic, patients receive effective anesthesia and do not feel pain thanks to the use of the latest anesthetic drugs and current techniques of local anesthesia.
    In situations where the tooth with an inflammatory process in the bone tissue (cyst) is heavily damaged and cannot be restored with photopolymer restoration or a crown; it is impossible to remove the filling from the root canal and gain access to the cyst; or the resorption of the root in the area of the cyst - radical (surgical) treatment is used. The correct choice of treatment method is possible only after a diagnostic examinatioт.

    Стоматология супер! Обслуживаемся всей семьёй уже 13 лет. В основном у Ирины и Елены на м. Дарница. Качеством очень довольны! Персонал опытный и приятный) Однозначно рекомендую !!! Спасибо вам за ваш труд!
    Досвід лікування моїх зубів і приведення у задовільний стан мою посмішку має чималу історію (для інформації, мені за 50). Це пломби у більшості зубів, брекет системи і навіть спроби змінити форму зубів. Щось виходило, але не з першого разу, щось не виходило і намагання повернутись до цієї проблеми не сприймалися схвально. У додаток до всього цього сам процес лікування затягувався на довгі місяці.
    Що мене очікувало в центрі iStomatolog.
    1. Відсутність очікування біля кабінету.
    2. Відсутність зайвого. Персонал і лікарі тебе не обтяжують. Їх стільки, скільки має бути.
    3. Без сумніву професіоналізм. Тебе вислухать, і обов'язково запропонують варіанти лікування. Що безцінно, це те, що тобі в першу чергу будуть пропонувати максимально зберегти свої зуби.
    4. Відсутність бажання затягнути процес лікування на рік (якщо у тебе проблема не одного чи двох зубів). Головне, щоб дозволяли працювати ясна (їх стан).
    5. Матеріали з якими працюють лікарі. Це виключно японський виробник.
    І нарешті результат, який я навіть вже і не очікувала.
    Лена, дякую тобі ВЕЛИЧЕЗНЕ за твою роботу. Тобі і твоїй команді.
    Nice clinic. Very attentive doctors, very nice people. Competent in their job. All procedures, implantation, crown installation in 1 day, filling - everything is absolutely performed according to the protocols. The clinic is clean, tea and coffee will be offered. Protection against covid is carried out - everyone is wearing masks, shoe covers, the temperature is measured. Thank you very much to Maxim Valerievich, Elena Dainetskaya, Lidia Vladimirovna. We wish you prosperity!
    Якби мені раніше хтось сказав що я полюблю ходити до стоматолога, то я б не повірила)
    Але тут працюють дуже відповідальні, приємні і турботливі професіонали! Дякую всій команді цієї стоматології, і окремо дякую моєму стоматологу Пекарському Віталію за прекрасну роботу. Тепер я і солодке їм без болі, і більше посміхаюсь ☺️
    Я із задоволенням буду ходити тільки до вас 😊
    I would like to express my deep gratitude to Elena Sergeevna Dainetskaya. We have been treating teeth with the whole family for more than 10 years and we thank God that we have fallen into these wonderful hands! A very professional and competent doctor, kind, sensitive and always worried about his patient. There would be more such doctors in our medicine!I wish you health, success and prosperity in your work.I RECOMMEND iStomatolog clinic and Dr. Elena Sergeevna to everyone.
    С 2007 года iStomatolog наша семейная стоматология. Почему? Потому что кто лучше делает своё дело, если оно семейное и уже в третьем поколении. Я пришёл по рекомендации моего друга Антона на приём к Ларисе Викторовне. Она сказала мне сразу: «я не вырву не одного зуба если за него можно бороться» Пол года лечения и сейчас у меня только раз в 6 месяцев профилактика. Супруга, дочь, моя мама (83 года) все доверили свои зубки iStomatolog. Правда уже Елена Сергеевна (старшая дочь Ларисы Викторовны) руководит клиникой. Строгая, но наверно так и надо, а то мы всегда пытаемся отсрочить, откладываем на потом профилактику, а потом выкладываем огромные деньги что бы спасти уже гнилой зуб. В этой стоматологии принцип очень простой: делай качественно, относись к людям по человечески, предупреди заранее (ну ведь забываем и «забиваем» на это). Многие подумают заказная статейка. Нет, просто мне повезло, я нашёл тех кому не безразлично мое здоровье и посчитал своим долгом перед Вами, рекомендовать стоматологию iStomatolog.
    Так случилось, что в "iStomtolog", я попал по настоятельной рекомендации побратима. Имея, без преувеличения, огромные проблемы с зубами, могу вас уверить, это место где вам реально помогут! Теперь по выполненным работам: поснимали камни и налет, пролечили каналы, поставили 8 коронок и 1 винир, 3 импланта. Объем работ просто огромный. Хочу поблагодарить Елену Дайнецкую и всю ее команду за профессионализм, позитив и замечательную домашнюю атмосферу в клинике.
    Все мы знаем, как сложно выбрать хорошего врача, но могу с уверенностью сказать, приходите в клинику “IStomatolog”- здесь Вы найдете лучшего доктора Виталия . Очень хороший доктор-внимательный, доброжелательный, настоящий профессионал своего дела. Спасибо за Ваш труд, желаю Вам благополучия и успехов! А еще в кабинете чистота, комфорт, свежий воздух и приятная музыка. Рекомендую☝️
    Отличная стоматология. Быстро и качественно оказывают услуги, ничего лишнего не навязывают. Вежливый и обходительный администратор. Очень рекомендую. Теперь по всем зубным вопросам только туда.
    Я доглядаю зуби в цій клініці майже 15 років, і це про щось та говорить. Свого молодшого сина також привела сюди ще з першими зубками.

    Всі лікарі уважні, професійні, з щирою турботою про пацієнта. Запам'яталось, як мені років п'ять тому довго і терпляче спасали майже безнадійний зуб, зіпсований в іншій клініці — спасли, стоїть свій зуб, а міг би вже бути імплант.

    Дуже рекомендую.
