Recurrence and Prognosticators of Recurrence in Odontogenic Keratocyst of the Jaws

The incidence of recurrence OKC varied from 2.5 to 62%. Studies have linked treatment methods and also clinical pathological features. aim this study was evaluate the 5-year factors associated with in odontogenic keratocysts jaws. A retrospective review records done Institute’s Medical Records Directory 2010 2021. following data were obtained lesion; age at presentation, gender, site, subsite, radiographic presentation (locularity), borders, presence or absence satellite cysts, inflammatory infiltrate, rendered cortical perforation soft-tissue extension recurrence. Kaplan Meir estimator used rate log rank test compare survival amongst groups. Cox regression analysis odds ratio find out possible influencing risk p value < 0.05 considered statistically significant 95% confidence interval. In our cohort, 27.2% patients had Posterior maxillary lesions, multilocular lesions scalloped perforation, cysts infiltrate enucleation peripheral ostectomy significantly However, extension, independent factors. There is still debate on best modality for management OKCs. More studies are required quantify results.
