Fenestration decompression, which can protect important anatomic structures and reduce surgical risk is the most preferred way for the treatment of jaw cysts in children, and wearing a cyst plug after the operation is the key to success. To enhance the retention of the cyst plug and promote the healing of the cyst, our team designed the vacuum-formed cyst plug to replace the classic one. This article presents a case of a jaw cyst in a 6-year-old girl who wore the vacuum-formed cyst plug after the fenestration decompression. Six months later, the cyst healed, and the permanent teeth affected by the cyst returned. This case showed that the vacuum-formed cyst plug offered a more comfortable experience and an explicit prognosis for children with jaw cysts, having high clinical application value.
