Introduction
Odontogenic cyst in the maxilla originates from the epithelial remains
associated with odontogenesis1.
It is either developmental, Inflammatory, or Carcinoma arising in
odontogenic cysts2. The most common type of
odontogenic cysts is periapical (radicular) cysts (65%), followed by
dentigerous cysts (24%) and odontogenic keratocysts
(5%)3.
Many approaches are used to manage odontogenic maxillary cysts;
intraoral, sublabial, or transnasal endoscopic approach. Each approach
has its supremacy and pitfalls.
The aim of this study was to present our experience in management of
maxillary cysts of dental origin by trans-antral endoscopic assisted
approach. We discuss the feasibility, results, benefits, and
complications of excision of otontogenic maxillary cyst through a small
sublabial incision then a small antral window followed by using 0 degree
telescope and endoscopic instruments to completely remove the cyst.
