Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Among the pathological entities that affect the maxillofacial region, Keratocystic odontogenic tumour has been subject to a lot of debates, controversies and speculations because of its diverse nature and high recurrence rates.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors conducted a search in English literature using the following keywords; "Odontogenic keratocyst" and "Keratocystic odontogenic tumour". The aim of the paper was to review all aspects of the entity, including etiology, pathogenesis, clinical and radiological manifestations, growth potential, recurrence and treatment modalities.

CONCLUSION: The controversial nature of the pathology not withstanding, there is in general a broad consensus on treating the entity conservatively with emphasis on a long term review.

Keywords: Keratocyst; Odontogenic; Recurrence
