Odontogenic keratocyst has been renamed as by world health organization in 2005. It is a benign intraooseous neoplasm of the jaw. They develop from the dental lamina remenants in the mandible and maxilla.Odontogenic keratocyst is of particular interest because of its recurrence rate and aggressive behavior. We present a case in a middle aged lady patient.

Introduction: The odontogenic keratocyst is a common cyst which affects mainly the posterior region of mandible.
 Aims: aim this study was to discuss clinical management keratocyst, based on case report and an integrative literature review.
 Case Report: A 34-year-old woman has visited Oral Surgery Division with complaint alignment discomfort her teeth. Radiographic examination showed...

statement of problem: odontogenic keratocysts (okc) make up 10-12% of all developmental cysts with dental origin. okcs are classified into parakeratotic and orthokeratotic types, with completely different clinical features. in order to investigate biological behavior of okcs, an immunohistochemical study was designed, using ki-67 antigen as proliferation marker and p53 protein as tumor suppress...

Abstract: The odontogenic keratocyst be a developmental cyst that's important due to its specific clinical behavior and histopathology. They arise from remnants of the epithelial structures that are related event teeth occur predominantly intraosseous. However, they occasionally can appear extraosseous in gingiva as peripheral counterparts. is most common location keratocyst, but other sites li...

AIM Though odontogenic lesions have in common origin from the primitive odontogenic epithelium , there is a diversity in their initiation behavior and growth. The aggressive nature of odontogenic keratocyst similar to ameloblastoma in comparision with the other common odontogenic (dentigerous and radicular) cyst could be due to possible differences in their epithelial linings. PCNA (Proliferati...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the relative frequency of developmental odontogenic cysts in an Iranian population.

OKC has been of special interest because of aggressive behavior, specific histopathological features, and high recurrence rate.4 The WHO has designated keratocyst OKC as a keratocystic odontogenic tumor because of its neoplastic nature and defined as a benign unior multicystic intraosseous tumor of odontogenic origin, with a characteristic lining of parakeratinized stratified squamous epitheliu...
