Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old male Beagle was brought in for a swelling in its jaw, which was found to be an odontogenic keratocyst, while two other dogs had dentigerous cysts. The veterinarian performed surgery to remove these cysts using a laser, which helped heal the jawbone without any complications. After the procedures, all three dogs showed good recovery, and there have been no signs of the cysts returning.

Abstract
Odontogenic cysts, which showed cystic radiolucency in the jaw bone by radiographic examination and computed tomography, were enucleated by operation in 3 dogs. One dog had a odontogenic keratocyst in the incisive bone of the right maxilla and another 2 cases revealed dentigerous cysts in the mandible. These cyst walls were enucleated or transpired by semiconductor laser. Afterwards, osteogenesis was confirmed at the defective part of jaw bone by extirpation of the cyst in all cases, and no recurrence has been noted in any cases. Odontogenic cyst is a disease which should be treated by surgical extirpation or transpiration.
