Marsupialization as a treatment option of a large Odontogenic keratocyst: A case report with the review of literature
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is classified as a developmental epithelial cyst and comprises approximately 11% of all cysts of the jaws. The most characteristic clinical feature of OKC is the high recurrence rate. It is because of this characteristic that a variety of treatment modalities has been suggested for this cyst. Many of the surgeons prefer a more aggressive treatment, like resection. We have tried a more conservative approach in managing a patient with a large OKC of the mandible and have had an excellent result. We would like to suggest that marsupialization can be a definitive treatment option for large OKC’s.
