Abstract
Odontogenic keratocysts are locally aggressive, benign, developmental odontogenic cysts. It occurs commonly in mandible and has high recurrence rate. It is the third most common odontogenic cyst. Various modalities of treatment are described in the literature which includes enucleation, marsupulization, (marsupialization) liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, chemical/ cryo-cauterization, resection etc. Though resection remains the gold standard of treatment in preventing recurrence, conservative methods are the first line of choice to prevent the morbidity associated with resection. However close follow up is necessary to identify any recurrence at an early stage. Here we present a case of odontogenic keratocyst of mandible in a 30 years old female patient.
