Treatment depends on the size, location, and type of cyst. Common treatment methods are:

  • Curettage: Surgical removal of the cyst

  • Apical resection: Removal of the root tip of the cystic tooth and the cyst together

  • Marsupialisation: Opening the cyst into the mouth to shrink large cysts

  • Tooth extraction: Tooth with cyst may need to be extracted
