About Jaw Bone Tumors/Lesions

Bone tumors or lesions of the jaw are abnormal growths that can occur in the bones of the upper (maxilla) or lower (mandible) jaw. These growths may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), affecting the function of the jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures. Benign tumors, such as odontogenic cysts, ameloblastomas, or osteomas, are more common and may cause pain, swelling, or displacement of teeth but do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors, such as osteosarcomas or metastatic lesions, are aggressive and can spread to nearby tissues, requiring immediate medical attention.

The symptoms of jaw-related bone tumors may include facial swelling, pain in the jaw, loosening of teeth, difficulty chewing, or facial deformity. Even benign tumors can grow and damage surrounding bone, making early detection and treatment critical to prevent long-term complications. At Emirates Hospitals Group, our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of jaw-related bone tumors with minimal disruption to the patient’s daily life.

Causes of Jaw Bone Tumors/Lesions

The exact cause of jaw-related bone tumors is not always clear, but several factors may contribute to their development:

1. Genetic Mutations: Genetic factors may increase the likelihood of developing bone tumors or lesions. Some benign tumors, such as keratocystic odontogenic tumors, are associated with inherited genetic conditions like Gorlin syndrome.
2. Chronic Infections: Long-standing infections of the teeth or gums can sometimes lead to the formation of cysts or other lesions in the jaw.
3. Previous Trauma: Injury or trauma to the jaw may play a role in the development of certain types of bone tumors or lesions.
4. Radiation Exposure: Exposure to radiation therapy, especially in the head and neck region, may increase the risk of both benign and malignant bone tumors in the jaw.

Risk Factors

Several risk factors may increase the likelihood of developing jaw-related bone tumors or lesions:

1. Age: Some tumors and lesions, such as odontogenic tumors, are more common in younger individuals, while others may occur more frequently in older adults.
2. Genetic Predisposition: Certain genetic syndromes, such as Gorlin syndrome or Gardner’s syndrome, are associated with a higher risk of jaw-related tumors.
3. Oral Health: Poor dental hygiene and untreated infections can contribute to the formation of cysts or lesions in the jawbone.
4. Radiation Therapy: Individuals who have undergone radiation therapy to the head and neck region for other cancers are at an increased risk of developing jaw-related bone tumors.
5. Gender: Some tumors, such as ameloblastomas, are more commonly found in men than women.

Treatment for Jaw Related Bone Tumors/Lesions

At Emirates Hospitals Group, we offer a wide range of treatment options for jaw-related bone tumors and lesions. Our treatment plans are personalized to address the type, size, and location of the tumor while considering the overall health and function of the jaw.

1. Surgical Removal: The primary treatment for both benign and malignant jaw tumors is surgical excision. Our Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons use advanced techniques to remove tumors while preserving as much healthy bone and tissue as possible. For large or aggressive tumors, reconstructive surgery using bone grafts or implants may be necessary to restore jaw function and appearance.
2. Minimally Invasive Procedures: For smaller benign tumors or cysts, minimally invasive procedures such as enucleation (removal of the tumor without cutting into surrounding tissues) or marsupialization (draining cysts) may be recommended to reduce recovery time and preserve the jaw’s structure.
3. Reconstruction and Rehabilitation: In cases where significant bone tissue is removed, our team may perform reconstructive surgery using bone grafts or dental implants to restore both function and aesthetics. This may be followed by orthodontic or prosthetic rehabilitation to ensure proper jaw alignment and dental function.
