Abstract
Odontogenic Keratocysts Associated with Dental Displacement for Orbita Floor: Case Report
Highlights
The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst that shows local aggressiveness and high relapse rate [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
The WHO considered it as an odontogenic tumor in 2005, but in the most recent classification in 2017 it was once again considered as an odontogenic developmental cyst
In 2005 the WHO classified it as an odontogenic keratocyst tumor [3,5,8]
Summary
The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst that shows local aggressiveness and high relapse rate [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. OKC presents itself asymptomatically, usually with a medullary growth pattern, which causes minimal expansion of the cortical bone, but sometimes it may be related to pain and aggressive growth. It mainly affects posterior region of mandible with common involvement of mandibular angle and third molar [2,3,5,6,7] and has predilection for male gender [5]. The aim of this paper is to report a case of maxillary OKC associated with tooth displacement on orbit floor in a 15-year-old boy describing its characteristics and treatment. Patient and his responsible person were oriented to maintain annual follow-up for 5 years, due to injury recurrence potential
