OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to report a 61-year-old man who presented a complication after mandibular follicular cyst removal. METHODS: The patient underwent surgery, via intraoral approach: removal of the lesion and the dental follicle with curettage and extraction of the mandibular right third molar. Two weeks after surgery, the patient reported a slight malocclusion. The x-ray showed a fracture near the right mandibular angle. The fracture was treated by application of a long mandibular plate. RESULTS: Two years after surgery, the patient is asymptomatic. Inferior alveolar nerve sensitivity returned completely. CONCLUSIONS: In the reported case, a satisfactory result was obtained after the treatment of the complication confirmed by postoperative x-rays.Copyright © 2011 Mutaz B. Habal, MD.
