SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF ORAL CAVITY TUMORS AND CYSTS

Аннотация

Oral tumors and cysts are common pathological entities in the oral cavity that can significantly affect both functional and aesthetic aspects of the jaw and surrounding structures. These lesions may be classified as benign or malignant, and cystic formations, with varying clinical presentations, growth patterns, and recurrence potential. Early detection and accurate diagnosis through clinical examination, radiographic imaging, and histopathological evaluation are essential for effective management. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment modality, with the choice of technique dependent on lesion type, size, location, and aggressiveness. Postoperative care, including monitoring for complications and recurrence, plays a critical role in achieving favorable outcomes. Advances in minimally invasive, laser-assisted, and computer-guided surgical techniques, combined with regenerative approaches, have improved treatment precision, reduced morbidity, and enhanced functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. This study provides a comprehensive review of the etiology, clinical features, diagnostic strategies, surgical management, postoperative care, and recurrence patterns of oral tumors and cysts, emphasizing evidence-based approaches for optimal patient care.
