The aim of this case-control study is to evaluate the effects of decompression of cystic jaw lesions by means of comparing pre- and post-decompression histologic findings. The main question it aims to answer is: Does decompression of cystic jaw lesions alter the histologic diagnosis? A retrospective analysis was performed based on the comparison of initial and final histologic diagnoses of patients with an odontogenic cystic lesion, that was surgically treated with decompression followed by a definitive surgery.
