Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with odontogenic cysts of the jaws that involve anatomical landmarks and are seeking treatment at the Department of Public Dental Health, Semmelweis University.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled major systemic diseases, oral cancer, or those on medications affecting bone metabolism may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the feasibility of using Patient Specific Implants (PSIs) for the decompression of odontogenic cysts. Patients undergo preoperative imaging, including digital impressions and CBCT scans, to design and produce PSIs using advanced 3D printing technology. The implants are anchored to the bone and allow for the continuous drainage of cystic fluid, promoting bone regeneration. Monthly follow-ups and imaging are conducted to monitor the progress of cyst volume reduction.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the treatment of odontogenic cysts, leading to improved outcomes and reduced need for more invasive surgeries.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of PSIs is a novel approach in this context, similar studies in other areas of dental surgery have shown promising results.
