Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the case series was to describe the efficacy of a novel approach for management of extravasation mucocele using a combination therapy of micro-marsupialization and intralesional corticosteroids. Case Report: A total of 5 child patients with the age range of 8 to 10 years diagnosed with extravasation mucocele were treated with a combination technique of micro-marsupialization and intralesional corticosteroids. There was no history of recurrence after a follow up period of 6 months to 1 year. Discussion: Mucoceles are the most common lesions of the oral cavity mainly formed due to extravasation of mucus from a minor salivary gland due to trauma. Though a wide range of treatment options are available for management of mucocele, this combination therapy has both the advantages of micro-marsupialization technique of being less traumatic and less chance of recurrence and dexamethasone therapy of being economical and performed effortlessly in children, proving it to be superior and clinically efficient compared to other techniques. Conclusion: A novel approach combining both the techniques of micro-marsupialization with intralesional corticosteroids was simple, conservative, easily accepted and well tolerated by children.
