Treatment and study plan

novel use of Grommet tube

Device

The intervention consisted of performing conventional marsupialization of the odontogenic cyst followed by the novel placement of a ventilation Grommet tube to maintain long-term patency of the surgical window. After administration of local anesthesia, a small bony window was created over the thinnest cortical area of the cyst to expose the cystic cavity. The cyst lining was incised then the tube was placed

Primary outcomes

Reduction in Cyst Size

Time frame: 6 months

Cyst volume will be measured using CBCT and 3D Slicer segmentation at baseline and 6 months after marsupialization. Percentage reduction in cyst size will be calculated.
Patient Satisfaction

Time frame: Time Frame: 6 months

Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a validated questionnaire (e.g., 3-point Likert scale) at 6 months.
Occurrence of Complications

Time frame: Time Frame: 6 months

The presence of postoperative complications (infection, device displacement, or soft tissue overgrowth) will be recorded clinically at follow-up visits.
