Abstract

Objective: To estimate the recurrence of odontogenic keratocyst (OKCs) and increment of bone height upon an innovative treatment protocol of the OKC, i.e., enucleation along with the adjuvant therapy of Carnoy’s solution, followed by marsupialization.

Methods: Twenty cases of OKC treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from 2020-2021 were studied retrospectively. Clinical, radiological features and histologic features were reviewed. The patients diagnosed with OKCs were planned for enucleation with the use of Carnoy's solution and followed by marsupialization. Recurrence of the same and bone formation was analyzed concerning sites of involvement, based upon the gender and age group of patients, after undergoing the proposed treatment.

Results: Mean age of the patients was 35.15 ± 13.02, ranging from 11 to 56 years. Most (85%) patients were symptomatic, and the remaining (15%) were asymptomatic and diagnosed on a routine check-up. Males (65%) were mostly affected than females (35%). Mandible (75%) was the most frequent site of occurrence. Most lesions were diagnosed histologically as OKC on incisional biopsy. All patients were followed for six months, an increment of 11.11 ± 1.68mm bone height was seen, and none reported recurrence.

Conclusion: The steady growth of bone without any cases of recurrence was reported. Hence, clinicians can consider enucleation along with adjuvant therapy using Carnoy's solution followed by marsupialization as the treatment of choice.
