Free public welfare screening for apical cysts to prevent alveolar bone destruction and facial deformity

Apical cyst is a jaw cyst in the category of oral and maxillofacial surgery. It belongs to odontogenic jaw cyst and is a chronic disease of chronic periapical periodontitis.

The apical cyst grows very slowly, and the initial external manifestation is a change in the color of the tooth. Because the epiphysis of the affected tooth has been necrotic, the tooth is discolored, dark gray, and dull. Most patients have no symptoms, and the affected tooth will feel uncomfortable when percussion, but as the cyst becomes larger and larger, it will cause the absorption of the surrounding bone, and the face will gradually appear deformed. Cysts can range in size from a pea to an egg. Small cysts are not easy to find, but are discovered as the cyst grows.

The Victorian port cavity chain brand organization brings together well-known oral surgery and periodontal diagnosis and treatment experts to provide free public welfare examinations for apical cysts for Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and surrounding citizens. All customers who make an appointment for a consultation before December 31 this year can get free in-hospital professional examinations and authoritative diagnosis. Patients who make an appointment in advance will be exempted from X-ray panoramic film examination fees, CT examination fees, physicians routine examination and diagnosis fees, and health file fees.

If an apical cyst is left untreated, the cyst wall will continue to secrete cyst fluid. The apical cyst will continue to expand, and the effects of cyst expansion are as follows:

1. Destruction of the alveolar bone. As the apical cyst continues to expand, it will compress the alveolar bone. The alveolar bone will absorb after being compressed, and as the cyst expands, the alveolar bone will be continuously destroyed.

2. The alveolar bone is damaged to a certain extent, which may damage the adjacent teeth. The cyst is destroyed not only in the direction of the jaw, but also in the direction of the adjacent teeth. If it is damaged to a certain extent, it will damage the adjacent teeth, and even continue to expand, and the expansion will affect the roots of several teeth.

3. It may affect the surrounding important anatomical structures, such as the nasal floor, maxillary sinus and inferior alveolar neural canal, which can cause corresponding symptoms.

The treatment of periapical cysts is divided into two methods: conservative treatment and surgical treatment:

1. Conservative treatment

If the cyst is small and communicates with the apical foramen, after root canal preparation and disinfection, drugs can be introduced into the cyst to achieve the purpose of disappearing the cyst through the degeneration and destruction of the epithelial cells by the drug. If medical treatment is ineffective, surgery should be used instead.

2. Surgical treatment

The cyst wall is completely removed by surgery, and new bone gradually grows into the cyst site, thereby healing the lesion.
