Nerve-sparing surgery for jaw cysts using a camera and navigation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have a jaw cyst that started from a tooth (odontogenic cyst) and is at least 2 cm wide
- The cyst is touching or pressing on the nerve that runs through your jawbone
- You are healthy enough to have surgery under general anesthesia
- You do not have any numbness or weakness in your lower lip or chin before the surgery

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 if low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (a gentle sound wave treatment) applied after surgery to remove a jaw cyst can help the bone heal better and faster. It may benefit people who have just had this type of jaw surgery.
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 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 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 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.
