Accepted: 12 September 2016 Results: One hundred and nineteen lesions were identified (73 males and 46 females). Twenty-nine tumours were found in the maxilla and doi:10.1111/ors.12250 91 in the mandible; the applied therapeutic methods were: marsupialization/decompression, marsupialization followed by enucleation and adjunctive therapies (peripheral ostectomy and Carnoy’s solution), solely enucleation, enucleation and Carnoy’s solution, enucleation followed by peripheral ostectomy and Carnoy’s solution and resection. Discussion and conclusions: Treatment by enucleation, in combination with adjunctive measures, is associated with minor recurrence rates when compared with enucleation alone. The small number of KCOT that were treated with en bloc resection did not obtain statistically relevant results. Therefore, more studies with well-established criteria are necessary to enable an adequate analysis of recurrence rates associated with each treatment modality. 1–7 Introduction potentially infiltrative behaviour .

  • Management of the Odontogenic Keratocyst – Six Cases with Conservative Management Supported by Chemical and Electrochemical Cauterization
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.6260 Management of the Odontogenic Keratocyst – Six Cases with Conservative Management Supported by Chemical and Electrochemical Cauterization Sathyabama Vijayarangan 1 , Vikraman Baskara Pandian 1 1. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Ragas Dental College and Hospital, Chennai, IND Corresponding author: Sathyabama Vijayarangan, [email protected] Abstract Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) has a special mention in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery due to its varied presentation and high recurrence rate. The presence of Bcl-2 and cytokeratin 10 along with interleukins in the basal and suprabasal layers led to the inhibition of apoptosis of the surface epithelium and hence the high rate of recurrence. We discuss six cases diagnosed as odontogenic keratocyst on biopsy that underwent surgical removal. At the time of biopsy, the contents of the cyst were drained to allow decompression, then enucleation with Carnoy’s solution was performed as a secondary procedure. Based on our findings, we suggest a modification to Pogrel’s protocol of decompression with a drain in place followed by enucleation. Categories: Pathology, Dentistry Keywords: conservative management of okc, parakeratinized, orthokeratinized, decompression, carnoy’s solution, odontogenic keratocyst, 3d reconstruction using "mimics" materialise software Introduction Treatment of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is one of the highly controversial protocols among oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Treatment modalities range from simple enucleation in the case of lesions that are less than 1 cm to extensive resection in the case of cysts that extend into the skeletal base. We discuss cystic cases that were diagnosed by biopsy with decompression followed by enucleation with the application of the Carnoy’s solution and/or electrochemical cauterization.
