How should oral cysts be treated?

The human mouth is also prone to various cystic diseases. Oral cysts are currently very serious and can cause great harm to the patient's body, seriously affecting daily life. In the usual treatment of oral cysts, it is necessary to judge what kind of treatment process the oral cyst should receive based on the location of the cyst and the patient's current symptoms. These are all helpful to the patient's health.

What to do with oral cysts

Thyroglossal duct cyst of oral and maxillofacial cyst :

During the early embryonic thyroid development, the thyroglossal duct does not disappear but remains in the neck, and its epithelial secretions accumulate to form a congenital thyroglossal duct cyst. Because the cyst can communicate with the oral cavity through the foramen cecum, it may become infected and form a thyroglossal duct fistula. This cyst is more common in children aged 1-10 years old, but can also be seen in adults. Cysts can occur in the midline of the neck, anywhere from the foramen cecum to the sternal notch, but are most common above and below the hyoid bone.

Branchial cleft cyst of oral and maxillofacial cyst:

This disease is a type of branchial cleft deformity. During the third week of human embryonic development, there are several pairs of gill slits on both sides of the head. Under normal circumstances, the gill slits will gradually disappear with development. If it does not disappear and there is fluid retention in it, it will appear as a branchial cleft cyst after birth. It takes a certain amount of time and process for a group of cells to develop into a cyst, so branchial cleft cysts are common in people aged 20-50 years old. Most of these cysts are located on the sides of the face and neck and are usually the size of a duck egg. Soft and movable.

Sublingual gland cyst of oral and maxillofacial cyst:

People of any age can develop sublingual cysts, but they are more common in teenagers. This cyst is a salivary gland mucocele, located in the sublingual area above the mylohyoid muscle. It varies in size, from as small as a broad bean to as large as a pigeon egg. Because the fibrous granulation cyst wall is extremely thin and closely adheres to the sublingual mucosa, it appears as a light purple tumor, is soft and fluctuating when touched, and resembles a toad's air sac, so it is also called a toad tumor.

Dermoid cysts of oral and maxillofacial cysts:

This cyst often occurs in late adolescence, gradually increases in size, and appears as a lump under the skin of the oral cavity or facial soft tissue. The most common sites of occurrence are the inner side of the chin and under the mucosa of the floor of the mouth. The lumps are close to the midline and are round or oval in shape with clear edges. The cyst contains semisolid sebaceous secretions, feels dough-like and flexible upon palpation, has no fluctuations but has a compressive depression. When located above the mylohyoid muscle, mucosal vascular dilation is common, and the swelling is visible through the mucosa and is yellow-white in color.

Oral and maxillofacial cysts and jaw cysts :

Human teeth are very hard, but they are made from very soft clumps of cells. These cell clusters are located in the jawbone and disappear after they differentiate and evolve into teeth. If for some reason these cell clusters do not disappear and tissue accumulates within them, a jaw cyst is formed.
