Cyst removal surgery usually causes mild to moderate pain for 2–5 days and is well controlled with medicines. Bone grafting may cause some soreness for about a week, not long-term pain.
Bone grafting is not always mandatory. If the cyst cavity is small to moderate, natural bone healing can occur without a graft. Grafting is mainly needed for large defects or if future implant placement is planned.
Healing is assessed by reducing pain/swelling and a follow-up X-ray or CBCT after 3–4 months.
Next Steps
cyst removal is necessary; bone grafting can be optional and decided based on defect size and future treatment plan

After bone grafting, expect mild soreness, swelling, and bruising for 2-3 days, manageable with prescribed medication or ice. Normal healing involves gradual pain decrease, but sharp, worsening, or persistent pain, fever, bad taste, or excessive swelling after a week signals infection or graft failure
Next Steps
visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for regular follow up

Hello
During cyst removal surgery bone graft needs to be placed so that bone formation takes place faster.
Pain will be managed by medicines which will be prescribed by doctor .
During surgery no pain will be felt as the procedure is done under anaesthesia

Expect moderate pain, swelling and jaw stiffness for 3-7 days ( surgeon will provide painkillers) Full comfort returns in 1-2 weeks. Bone graft will accelerate bone regeneration and improve structure intregrity.
