Marsupialisation is a treatment technique primarily used for:

Marsupialisation is a surgical technique used primarily for the management of cysts, particularly those that are large or symptomatic. This procedure involves creating a permanent opening in the cystic lesion, allowing it to drain and facilitating the healing process. By providing continuous drainage, the technique helps to reduce the size of the cyst over time and promotes the re-establishment of normal tissue in the area.

When dealing with cysts, marsupialisation can be particularly beneficial as it preserves the surrounding anatomical structures and allows for monitoring of the lesion without immediate extraction, which may be necessary in other treatments. This approach is particularly advantageous in cases where complete removal of a large cyst could lead to significant complications or loss of vital structures.

Other choices refer to conditions that require different management strategies. For example, pericoronitis often involves inflammation surrounding a partially erupted tooth and may require extraction of the involved tooth or conservative treatment. Abscesses, typically presenting with acute infection, may need drainage and antibiotic therapy. Fractured teeth are usually addressed through restorative or surgical intervention specific to the fracture type and severity.
