Abstract
The treatment of odontogenic keratocysts is reviewed in light of the aetiology and pathogenesis of these lesions. The role of the dental lamina and submucosal hamartias, as frequently seen in nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is discussed, and the implications for treatment are emphasized.
Highlights
The treatment of odontogenic keratocysts is reviewed in light of the aetiology and pathogenesis of these lesions
One may become confused by the variety of opinions and treatment protocols that have been presented. It is the aim of this review to put all aspects of this intriguing lesion into perspective, including the aetiology, pathogenesis, and treatment
A study on syndrome cysts that were removed with inclusion of the attached oral mucosa or gingiva, showed that the odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) were derived from hamartias in the submucosa in 12 of 13 cases (Fig. 1)[16]
