Dentigerous cysts associated with impacted third molars in adults after decompression: a prospective survey of reduction in volume using computerised analysis of cone-beam computed tomographic images

We prospectively investigated in adults the decompression of dentigerous cysts associated with impacted third molars at high risk of iatrogenic damage during extraction. The computerised calculated volumetric postoperative reductions measured by cone-beam computed tomography at four and eight months were correlated with the duration of treatment, initial volume, and patient's age. We prospectively monitored 14 adult patients with 14 dentigerous cysts that were associated with impacted third molars, for eight months after decompression.
