Study of two treatments for jaw cysts
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if applying 5-fluorouracil or Carnoy's solution during surgery helps treat odontogenic keratocysts (a type of jaw cyst) and reduce the chance they come back.

This study tests custom-made implants to help treat jaw cysts that are near important structures. It may be an option for people whose cysts are in tricky locations where standard surgery might be risky.
This trial tests a new way to remove jaw cysts using a tiny camera and special guides, which may help protect the nerve in your jaw. It is for people with a tooth-related cyst at least 2 cm wide that is pushing on that nerve.
This trial compares two ways to remove benign jaw bone growths or cysts and protect the bone during surgery, using computer guidance. It may help patients with larger jaw lesions recover faster and keep their teeth and jaw strong.
This trial tests whether applying a metformin gel to the cavity left after jaw cyst removal can help new bone grow and speed up healing. It may be a good option if you have a jaw cyst and are in good health.
This trial tests whether a natural blood concentrate (PRF) helps jawbone heal better after removing a dental cyst. It may improve recovery and reduce the need for additional bone grafting.
This trial compares two ways of checking whether all oral cancer tissue was removed during surgery by looking at the tissue edges. It may help surgeons choose the safest approach to reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
