Abstract (EN): Jaw cysts are common lesions in the maxillofacial area. Their treatment varies from surgical enucleation alone to enucleation followed by bone grafting depending on the size of the lesion. Various bone substitutes ranging from autografts, allografts, xenografts and alloplasts have been tried and tested with varying degrees of success. Here, the author present a case report of large cystic lesion of anterior maxilla and its treatment using a glass reinforced hydroxyapatite composite (Bonelike®) following enucleation. One year follow up demonstrated satisfactory clinical and radiological treatment outcomes. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
