Odontogenic Keratocyst – Recent Updates In Management

Dr. Godwin Alex Kiruba J, Dr. Pradeep Devadoss, Dr. Nikita Ravi

Abstract:

Odontogenic keratocyst is one of the most aggressive odontogenic cysts arising from odontogenic epithelium. It can become quite large because of its ability for significant expansion, extension into adjacent tissues and rapid growth. Thus they are often locally destructive and tend to recur. The goals of treatment should eliminate the potential recurrence and minimize the surgical morbidity.
