TRAUMATĠC BONE CYST: CASE REPORT

The non-epithelial, lined and empty cavity of the jaw is often where a traumatic bone cyst (tbc) is found. the lesions are uncommon and generally seen in young individuals. they occur frequently in the mandible posterior area. tbcs are often accidentally discovered on routine radiological examination. the cystic cavity is usually empty and there is a very little material for histological examination. surgical curettage is done to treat the condition, and recurrence is rare. in this paper, we discuss a mandibular tbc that was diagnosed during routine panoramic examination and we present its treatment. after surgical curettage, bone regeneration of the cystic cavity within a short period of time was seen.
