Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound as an Adjunctive Therapy for Bone Regeneration Following Jaw Cyst Enucleation

The LIPUS therapy protocol was administered by a trained nurse following standardized procedures. Starting on the third day post-enucleation, patients in the ultrasound group underwent LIPUS therapy using the OSTEOTRON IV device (Japan), set at a frequency of 1.5 MHz and an intensity of 30 mW/cm², with 20-minute sessions for 10 consecutive days (Fig. 1). Treatments were conducted in a temperature-controlled environment, with patients positioned supine. Prior to each session, the skin over the cyst site was cleansed and coated with ultrasound transmission gel (Hinuo, Qingdao, China).
