What jaw lesion can be removed by curettage?

  1. Ameloblastoma

  2. Osteosarcoma

  3. Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG)

  4. Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor

The correct answer is: Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG)

A. Ameloblastoma is a tumor of the jaw that is typically treated with surgical removal due to its invasiveness. Although curettage is a technique that may be utilized during surgery, it is not the primary form of treatment for ameloblastoma. B. Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that often occurs in the jaw. Treatment may involve surgery, but curettage is not typically sufficient for removing this type of lesion. D. Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor is a benign jaw tumor that can be removed using a combination of surgical techniques, which may include curettage. However, curettage alone may not be sufficient for completely removing the lesion. Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is a non-cancerous lesion that is often successfully treated by curettage alone.
