Benign Jaw Tumors

Jaw Tumor

A tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue that can develop in various parts of the body. In the case of a jaw tumor, it can arise either from the jaw bones themselves or from the area surrounding developing teeth.

These tumors can be classified as benign, which means they are mild and slow-growing. They are contained within a particular area and expand, pushing away any adjacent structures, but they do not spread to other parts of the body.

Fortunately, surgical removal is possible for these jaw tumors. This procedure aims to eliminate the tumor and restore normal functioning of the jaw.

Jaw Cysts

Jaw cysts are abnormal growths that occur within the jaw bones. These cysts contain a hollow space in the center, called a cyst, which is enclosed by a layer of fibrous connective tissue. The cyst can contain either fluid or soft material.

To ensure proper treatment and prevent any complications, surgical removal of the cyst and its surrounding tissue is required. By removing the cyst, the aim is to completely eliminate it and reduce the risk of any further issues.

This procedure is essential for managing jaw cysts effectively.
