Effect of decompression for patients with various jaw cysts based on a three-dimensional computed tomography analysis

Decompression is more effective in larger initial lesions when carried out more than 6 months. CT is an efficient method for evaluating the bony healing within the cyst cavity by measuring changes in cystic volume after decompression. However, due to its high cost and radiation dose, a comparative study using another diagnostic radiographic tool should be considered.
