  • Title: Identification of an odontogenic keratocyst and treatment with guided tissue regeneration: case report.
    Author: O'Neill R, Al-Hezaimi K.
    Journal: J Can Dent Assoc; 2011; 77():b6. PubMed ID: 21385536.
    Abstract:
    Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental, noninflammatory chronic cyst that may be unilocular or multilocular. Histologic features of OKC are pathognomonic. A 41-year-old male patient presented for emergency evaluation of a buccal gingival swelling in the area of teeth 34 and 35. Incision and drainage were followed 3 weeks later by surgical curettage and guided tissue regeneration using Puros allograft and resorbable membrane. Biopsy of the excised tissue revealed OKC. At 1-year follow-up, the patient was comfortable and complete resolution of the radiolucent pathology was evident. Periodic examination is required because of the high rate of recurrence of OKC.
