Three-dimensional analysis of decompression efficacy and influencing factors in the maxillofacial cystic lesions: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the effectiveness of decompression and various parameters that may affect volume change in cystic lesions. Patients and.

Methods

This retrospective study included patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Ewha Womans University Medical Center between 2012 and 2022 for decompression of cystic lesions of the jaw. To measure volume changes, pre- and post-decompression cone-beam computed tomography was performed and reconstructed in three dimensions using Mimics 25.0 software (Materialise NV). A comparative analysis was performed based on sex, age, initial cyst volume, location, degree of cortical layer expansion, and pathologic diagnosis using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests.

Results

In all 20 cases, the d
