Endoscopic-Assisted Decompression Combined With Secondary Curettage for the Treatment of Large Mandibular Keratocyst With Subsequent Implant Restoration.

Abstract

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a common cystic lesion of the jawbone, and its treatment remains challenging due to its locally aggressive growth characteristics. The authors treated a large mandibular OKC with endoscopy-assisted decompression combined with secondary curettage, achieving satisfactory results, and eventually completed implant restoration treatment.
