Trends in Recurrence of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor
Journal Title: International Journal of Oral and Dental Health - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The recurrence rate of 112 cases of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT) were analyzed with regard to their location, size, locularity and treatment. 36 patients (32.1%) presented recurrence. Multilocular KCOT measuring more than 3.5 cm presented higher rate of recurrence. When the initial treatment was enucleation with peripheral ostectomy the recurrence was located in the periphery of the initial tumor. When the treatment was marsupialization followed by enucleation and peripheral ostectomy, the recurrence was located in the periphery of the tumor reached after marsupialization, usually in area of adjacent teeth. The addition of Carnoy's solution has slightly reduced recurrence rate.
