Late results following the Brosch-procedure for treating large mandibular ramus cysts. 1983

M Farmand, and M Makek

The Brosch-procedure and its modification, removal of the lingual cortex, for treatment of large cysts of the mandibular ramus is presented. 29 patients were treated by this method in the period 1961-1979. In a late follow-up it was found that recurrence occurred within 2 years in 8 of the 21 patients with odontogenic keratocysts. No recurrence could be found in patients with other cysts. Seven of the recurrences occurring within the first 2 years were treated under local anaesthesia. One patient with Gorlin's syndrome refused further treatment and 9 years postoperatively cystic expansion of the whole ascending ramus and ipsilateral mandibular body was present. It was noted that bone regeneration, irrespective of the nature of the causative cyst, is generally complete in two years.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007570	Jaw Cysts	Saccular lesions lined with epithelium and contained within pathologically formed cavities in the jaw; also nonepithelial cysts (pseudocysts) as they apply to the jaw, e.g., traumatic or solitary cyst, static bone cavity, and aneurysmal bone cyst. True jaw cysts are classified as odontogenic or nonodontogenic.	Cyst, Jaw,Cysts, Jaw,Jaw Cyst

D009807	Odontogenic Cysts	Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation.	Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst
