M a t e r i a l s a n d m e t h o d s The study was conducted at the Department of Oral Surgery of the San GiovanniCalibitaFatebenefratelliHospital,Rome,Italy.BetweenJanuary 2000 and July 2012, 336 consecutive patients with large jaw cysts (average size of 1.50±0.80×1.06±0.50 cm) were treated by a Partch II surgicalenucleation.Postoperativeclinicalandradiographicexaminations were performed at ten and 30 days, respectively, and then at six and 12 months on the basis of panoramic radiographs, using the Kawai et al. classification. R e s u l t s Healing and radiographic spontaneous bone regeneration of the residual cavitieswereobtainedinallofthecases.Radiographiccontrolsaftercystic enucleation showed no evidence of recurrence. C o n c l u s i o n The study demonstrated that spontaneous bone regeneration can be obtained after enucleation of large jaw cysts without using filling mate- rial,therebydecreasingthefinancialandbiologicalcostsandreducingthe risk of postoperative complications.
