Abstract: PURPOSE: To analyze the possible causes of infection after operation and the usefulness of medical calcium sulfate bone particles in reconstruction of jaw cysts, and propose appropriate prevention and treatment measures. METHODS: Thirty-six cases of odontogenic cysts underwent curettage and calcium sulfate bone particle implantation. All patients were examined with orthopantomography (OPT) or CT scan and 3D reconstruction to determine the location and size of the cysts. The cysts were treated with curettage and medical calcium sulfate implantation. Postoperative complications and osteogenesis were observed. RESULTS: Eight out of 36 cases with odontogenic cysts had symptoms of infection 1 week to 1 month after surgery. The main manifestations were swelling, pain and increased skin temperature. Two cases had low fever, but recovered gradually with anti-inflamation and continuous root canal drainage. Osteogenesis was satisfactory after operation. CONCLUSIONS: It Prolonged drainage time and enhanced anti-infection treatment after jaw cyst curettage and medical calcium sulfate implantation can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative infection.
