Active Intracystic Negative Pressure Could Induce Osteogenesis

Based on previous findings, the author introduces the term "sugosteogenesis," a biological phenomenon that occurs by using the Evocyst, a device that exerts active intracystic negative pressure. The term "sugosteogenesis" comes from the Latin word "sugo-," meaning "suck," and Greek words "osteo-," meaning "bone," and genesis, "origin."
