To evaluate the efficacy of the Grommet tube by measuring the rate of reduction in cyst size, assess patients satisfaction, and evaluate the occurrence of complications.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment

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

Reduction in Cyst Size
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.
Time frame: 6 months
Patient Satisfaction
Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a validated questionnaire (e.g., 3-point Likert scale) at 6 months.
Time frame: Time Frame: 6 months
Occurrence of Complications
The presence of postoperative complications (infection, device displacement, or soft tissue overgrowth) will be recorded clinically at follow-up visits.
