Removal of Benign Odontogenic Cyst or Tumour
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description:
Benign odontogenic cysts and tumors are growths that originate from the tissues involved in tooth development. While these growths are non-cancerous, they can cause significant discomfort, pain, or dental complications if left untreated. The removal of benign odontogenic cysts or tumors is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate these growths and restore normal oral function.
Odontogenic cysts often develop from the remnants of tooth-forming tissues and can include different types such as dentigerous cysts, keratocystic odontogenic tumors, and radicular cysts. Odontogenic tumors, though less common, can form from the same tissues and include conditions like ameloblastomas or odontomas. These cysts and tumors are usually detected via dental imaging, such as X-rays or CT scans, during routine dental examinations or when patients present with swelling, pain, or difficulty chewing.
The removal process typically involves accessing the affected area through the gums and jawbone, excising the cyst or tumor, and ensuring that any surrounding tissues that may harbor remnants are thoroughly cleaned to reduce the risk of recurrence. Depending on the size and location of the cyst or tumor, a portion of the jawbone may need to be removed. In more complex cases, reconstructive surgery may follow to ensure functional and aesthetic restoration of the jaw and teeth. Advanced imaging and surgical tools, including 3D mapping and minimally invasive techniques, are often used to enhance precision and minimize patient discomfort.
Procedure Duration:
The duration of the removal procedure for benign odontogenic cysts or tumors can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size, location, and complexity of the growth. In general, the procedure takes between one to three hours to complete, though more extensive surgeries may require additional time, especially when significant jaw reconstruction is involved.
The process is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the size of the cyst or tumor and the patient’s preference or medical needs. Smaller cysts may be removed relatively quickly through a straightforward excision process, while larger or more complicated tumors require a more extensive approach, which might involve removing part of the jawbone or conducting grafting procedures to ensure long-term oral health and functionality.
After the surgery, recovery times vary. Initial recovery may take anywhere from a few days to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Most patients can return to normal activities after about a week, though they may need to avoid strenuous physical activity for a few more weeks to allow the jaw to heal completely. In cases where jawbone reconstruction or grafting was performed, recovery could extend to a few months, during which the patient may need to follow specific dietary restrictions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
Benefits:
- Restores Oral Health: Removal of cysts or tumors eliminates pain, discomfort, and potential complications, such as infection or bone damage.
- Prevents Recurrence: Complete removal reduces the risk of the cyst or tumor returning, especially when the entire growth and surrounding tissues are addressed.
- Improves Aesthetics: For cases involving visible swelling or deformities, the procedure can restore the natural appearance of the jaw and teeth.
- Enhances Functionality: Restoring jaw and dental function improves chewing, speaking, and overall quality of life.
- Minimally Invasive Options: In some cases, advanced surgical techniques allow for minimally invasive removal, reducing recovery time and postoperative discomfort.

Risks & Considerations:
- Recurrence of Cysts or Tumors: Despite complete removal, some cysts or tumors may recur, requiring further treatment or surgery.
- Jawbone Damage: Extensive cysts or tumors may necessitate the removal of parts of the jawbone, which could affect jaw structure and function.
- Infection: As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection at the site of the procedure, especially if proper postoperative care is not followed.
- Nerve Damage: In cases where the cyst or tumor is located near a nerve, there is a potential for nerve damage, which could lead to numbness or tingling in the jaw or face.
- Prolonged Recovery: Complex cases that involve jaw reconstruction or bone grafting may result in a longer recovery period, with patients needing to adhere to strict dietary and activity limitations.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital:
When seeking treatment for the removal of benign odontogenic cysts or tumors, choosing a highly qualified and experienced doctor is crucial to ensuring the best outcome. Look for a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery, as these professionals have the expertise required to handle complex cases involving both the teeth and jawbone. Board certification and a proven track record of successful procedures are key indicators of a surgeon’s qualifications.
In addition to the surgeon’s credentials, the hospital or clinic where the procedure will be performed should have a strong reputation for dental and surgical care. Internationally accredited facilities often adhere to stringent healthcare standards, ensuring patient safety and high-quality outcomes. Research patient reviews, available technology, and the clinic’s approach to postoperative care to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
