Doctors saved a resident of Sverdlovsk from a cyst that was dissolving his jaw
July 16, 2026 In the Sverdlovsk region, doctors saved a 52-year-old man from a cyst that had been dissolving his jaw for several years. The patient sought medical help when he found it difficult to open his mouth.
— Computed tomography showed that a cyst had spread from the molars to the area of the temporomandibular joint. The man had no idea that he was at risk of a jaw fracture every minute, even from slight pressure on his teeth, the press service of the Sverdlovsk Ministry of Health reported.
Valeria Gotlib, a surgeon at the Bonum Medical Center, noted that the inner lining of the cyst produced fluid that accumulated inside the cavity and created pressure on the bone tissue.
— Gradually, small vessels that nourish the bone are compressed, causing the bone tissue to slowly dissolve. The freed space is occupied by the cyst, and the pressure increases again—this process repeats over and over, the expert emphasized.
The cause of the cyst formation was a wisdom tooth. To preserve the patient's jawbone, the doctors cleaned the cyst cavity without incisions and installed a special drainage tube that stopped the fluid accumulation and eliminated the pressure.
Thus, the resident of Sverdlovsk was able to chew and speak again. Three months after the surgery, new bone began to grow in the man. According to doctors' forecasts, the tissue will fully restore in 1.5-2 years.
Earlier, we reported that Sverdlovsk doctors saved a 91-year-old woman who was nearly killed by the wind.
