Abstract
The results are shown of surgical-orthodontic treatment of developmental odontogenic cysts of the jaws with the purpose of demonstrating the importance of long-term teamwork of the orthodontist and oral surgeon in resolving each individual case, despite the fact that some cases may appear to be simple. Such cooperation enables the preservation of impacted teeth, even in cases when this appears almost impossible. The example presented of treatment of a large follicular cyst in an eight-year old girl is proof of the success of such cooperation. The authors also present contemporary knowledge on the treatment of odontogenic cysts, warn of the local invasive nature of odontogenic keratocysts and show the results of the application of resorptive granular tricalcium phosphate.
