Brief Summary: The aim of this case-control study is to evaluate the effects of decompression of cystic jaw lesions by means of comparing pre- and post-decompression histologic findings
The main question it aims to answer is
Does decompression of cystic jaw lesions alter the histologic diagnosis
A retrospective analysis was performed based on the comparison of initial and final histologic diagnoses of patients with an odontogenic cystic lesion that was surgically treated with decompression followed by a definitive surgery
Detailed Description: The study included patients with a histologic diagnosis of an odontogenic cystic lesion that was surgically treated with decompression followed by a definitive surgery The study was carried out retrospectively by means of evaluating records surgical and histologic reports of patients Pre- and post-decompression histologic findings were compared in effort to understand if decompression leads to alteration in histologic character and change in diagnoses of lesions
