Abstract

Carnoy's solution is used in the treatment of various aggressive cysts and tumors in the maxillofacial region as a chemical cauterizing agent. Its use has been extensively studied in case of odontogenic keratocysts. It is used in the management of unicystic ameloblastomas and ossifying fibromas. In our institution from 2006 to 2010 we have treated 14 cases of maxillofacial lesions using carnoy's solution. Among these cases 7 were of odontogenic keratocyst, 4 cases were of amelobalstoma and one case was of juvenile ossifying fibroma. So here we share our experience of treating these lesions with the carnoy's solution.
