A modify sagittal split osteotomy for odontogenic keratocyst surgical treatment

A 21-year-old male patient, on medication for schizophrenia, was forwarded from another service after an incisional biopsy that resulted in diagnosis of an odontogenic cyst. The first physical exam presented facial symmetry, satisfactory mouth opening, pain during palpation on the left lingual floor, and intraoral swelling. Orthopantogram and computed tomography revealed an osteolytic intraosseous well-defined lesion measuring about 45  × 16 × 12 mm and bone expansion located on the mandibular left side, surrounding the crown of an unerupted third molar.
