Abstract

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKK) is a developmental cyst that originates from the remnants of the dental lamina within the jaw bones. The “ideal” treatment of OCC remains controversial for both surgeons and pathologists. Despite ongoing research, there is currently no consensus on the optimal treatment strategy to reduce therecurrence rate of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs). Treatment selection is influenced by multiple factors, including lesion characteristics, anatomical location, and surgeon preference. Due to the high recurrence potential of OKCs, long-term follow-up and careful clinical and radiographic monitoring are essential for early detection of recurrence. This case report describes a conservative treatment approach adapted to the patient’s clinical condition and the biological behavior of the lesion. It is intended to support clinical decision-making and serve as a reference for similar cases, highlighting the importance of extended surveillance in managing OKCs.

Abstract

Odontojenik keratokist (OKK), çene kemikleri içindeki dental lamina kalıntılarından kaynaklanan gelişimsel bir kisttir. OKK'nin “ideal” tedavisi hem cerrahlar hem de patologlar için tartışmalı olmaya devam etmektedir. Bugüne kadar, OKK’ler için nüks oranını düşürmek ve en uygun tedavi protokolünü belirlemek konusunda fikir birliği yok gibi görünmektedir. Mevcut bazı faktörler ise uygun tedavi seçeneklerinin seçimini etkilemektedir ve bunlar cerrahların tercihlerine ve mevcut koşullara göre değişmektedir. Bu lezyonlar için tedavi edilen hastaların uzun süreli takibi ve izlenmesi, nüksün erken tespit edilmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu olgu raporu, hastanın özel gereksinimlerine ve lezyon özelliklerine uygun olarak OKK’nin konservatif bir şekilde yönetimini ele almaktadır. Hasta ve lezyon odaklı tedavi planının doğruluğunu vurgulayarak klinisyenlere kılavuzluk etmek ve benzer olgular için referans oluşturmak amacıyla tedavi ve hasta takibi sunulmaktadır.
