Abstract
ABSTRACT Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is described as a benign uni- or multicystic, intraosseous tumor arising from the dental lamina or its remnants. Various treatment modalities available are decompression, marsupialization, enucleation, curettage, resection with and without continuity defect, and disarticulation. Among all of these treatment modalities for large keratocystic odontogenic tumor, marsupialization followed by enucleation is preferred owing to its conservative nature as it decreases the size of the cystic cavity gradually thus, it can save the adjacent anatomic structures. Here, we describe a case of large KCOT which was treated using conservative approach. How to cite this article Jolly S, Lata J. A Large Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor. World J Dent 2013;4(2):138-143.
