I was diagnosed with a denticerosis cyst in the jaw bone. Is bone powder required after surgery?

A 1.5 cm jaw cyst associated with my impacted tooth was detected. Is it necessary to place a graft in the space after enucleation?

The decision is made according to the size of the cyst and the anatomical boundaries of the jaw bone. Cyst cavities around 1-2 cm in size may ossify over time with their own blood clot in young patients. However, if the bone wall is weakened, applying bone powder (graft) and membrane quickly restores bone integrity.
