Whether the patient undergoes gastric bypass surgery during maxillofacial healing or has maxillofacial surgery within a year of prior gastric bypass surgery, the effect on bony healing of the maxillofacial region remains to be studied. We provide a case report of failed reconstruction due to significant bone loss and graft resorption in a patient who underwent gastric bypass surgery 4 months after a mandibular reconstruction procedure.","PeriodicalId":421634,"journal":{"name":"POJ Dental and Oral Care","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132240455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For small cystic lesions non-surgical endodontic treatment is used. Larger lesions, however, have a natural tendency to grow and weaken the bone (as well as an inflammatory risk) may be treated by surgery. Case presentation We present a case report of surgical resection of a large maxillary cyst on a patient who previously had multiple dental extractions until complete edentation. Conclusion Great cystic maxillary lesions are relatively rare. A definitive diagnosis cannot be determined based on the history, clinical and radiographic evaluation. A correct pre-operative diagnosis is very difficult and can only be possible after histological examination.
