Abstract

Following surgical treatment of a jaw cyst, bony cavities are formed. These cavities are prone to infection when they communicate with the oral environment. Hence, proper irrigation is a crucial aspect of postsurgical care, as it helps to reduce debris buildup and the risk of infection. However, the irrigation method of using a cannula is ineffective due to poor patient compliance. In response, we present a novel solution to this problem.
