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 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 phase 3 trial tests whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can help your jawbone heal better after a cyst is removed. You would use a small ultrasound device at home for 20 minutes each day for 10 days.
This study tests if analyzing CT scans with artificial intelligence can help doctors tell the difference between types of jaw cysts before surgery. This could help avoid surgery or choose the best treatment for you.
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 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 a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
