About this video
Execution of a palatal surgical approach for maxillary radicular cyst removal, chosen specifically to protect the integrity of the buccal bone and minimize iatrogenic risk to the overlying teeth and surrounding hard tissues. The video emphasizes the importance of access route selection in cyst enucleation -Â demonstrating how a palatal approach allows complete cyst removal while avoiding compromise of the buccal cortical plate, which, once damaged, presents a significantly more challenging reconstructive problem. The case is presented without the use of grafting materials, highlighting a conservative, tissue-respecting surgical philosophy where meticulous technique alone achieves the desired outcome. Relevant for oral surgeons, periodontists, and general practitioners managing maxillary cystic lesions where preservation of bone volume and dental support is a primary clinical priority.
