Purpose: Marsupialization or decompression can be applied especially to decrease complications when the cyst size is too large. In this study, we attempt to evaluate the change of the cyst after decompression with silicone tube through dental panorama photographs. Materials and Methods: Seven patients, who have been diagnosed and treated for odontogenic cyst in the jaws with decompression from 2007 to 2010, were included in this study. The size of each cyst and the reduction rate were analyzed with panoramic radiograph. Results: The average period was 426.6 days from decompression to enucleation. Average reduction rate of cyst was 67.68%, and average reduction rate per day was 0.178%/day. Histologic examination after final enucleation showed no signs of cystic remnants in all cases. No recurrence occurred during 2 years of follow-up period. Conclusions: Decompression using silicone tube was simple and effective in decreasing size of the cystic cavity.
