Abstract
Two-stage surgical treatment protocol of keratocyst leads to complete healing, preservation of important anatomical structures and absence of recurrence.All patients were instructed in daily irrigation using chlorhexidine 0.2% during the period of marsupialization. After enucleation, good healing was obtained in all cases and from two up to five years of follow-up, there is no evidence of recurrence.Three cases of large KCOTs have been treated by initial marsupialization and, after a mean period of six months, successive enucleation with peripheral ostectomy and application of Carnoy's solution was performed.The odontogenic keratocyst (KCOT) is a locally aggressive, cystic jaw lesion with a high growth potential and a propensity for recurrence. Considering its neoplastic features, treatments of keratocysts are required and they are generally classified as conservative or aggressive. However, although in literature there are several studies, the choice of treatment strategies remains controversial. We report a two-stage protocol based on initial marsupialization and successive enucleationPubblicazioni consigliate
