Cystic Fliud–Pathway to Enlighten the Early Diagnosis of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
To evaluate and compare the levels of albumin, prealbumin, total protein, in the cystic fluid for the diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning of keratocystic odontogenic tumours and other non keratinizing odontogenic cysts. Twenty keratocystic odontogenic tumour and twenty controls were studied. The cystic fluid was aspirated and analyzed to determine the levels of albumin, prealbumin, total protein,. The data collected was statistically evaluated using Mann Whitney U-Test and Student’s t-test. In results Comparison of prealbumin, total protein, was made between keratocystic odontogenic tumour and non keratinizing odontogenic cysts and was found having highly significant difference (p<0.0001). The presence of albumin also showed a significant difference (p<0.01). In conclusion an analysis of total protein, albumin, prealbumin, may be used as a diagnostic addition in the preoperative diagnosis of keratocystic odontogenic tumour in a minimally invasive and highly accurate manner. Keywords: keratocystic odontogenic tumor, dentigerous cyst, radicular cyst, albumin, prealbumin and protein levels
