A Multi-disciplinary Approach in Management of Undetected Odontogenic Keratocyst With Three Years Follow Up - A Case Report

Abstract

The keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is regarded as the most aggressive and recurrent tumor of all. The lesion does not pose any clinical symptoms until significantly large in size. The different treatment modalities are always a matter of dilemma as to which one would yield good results with less recurrence. A Conservative treatment approach for moderately large lesions such as marsupialization and decompression was carried out in this case with regular follow-up sessions. The aim of this case report is to treat cases of KCOT with a conservative surgical approach.
