Full description
METHODS: Fourteen (8 females and 6 males) patients with age range of 30-55 years who had radicular cysts associated with non-vital teeth, were operated at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups;1) the study group (7 patients) in which cyst enucleation using piezosurgery was employed, 2) control group in which the cysts were removed using the conventional technique. The following parameters were assessed; postoperative pain, time of operation, hemorrhage control and field visibility, ease of operation, neurosensory evaluation and radiographic percentage of change in bone defect volume between preoperative and 3-months postoperative values.
