Article Abstract

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) originates from the dental lamina and is more commonly seen in the posterior mandible than in the maxilla. OKC is the most aggressive cyst of the oral cavity and is known for its rapid growth and its tendency to invade bone of the adjacent tissues. The recurrence rate of OKC is very high due to various reasons debated upon. Cases of OKC have shown the presence of calcifications, dentinoid formation and ossification. Here, we report the first case of OKC in a 27-year-old male showing granular cell changes.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign, well-encapsulated odontogenic lesion that typically presents as a slow-growing, asymptomatic mass. Surgical enucleation or curettage remains the treatment of choice due to the tumor's non-invasive nature and well-defined borders, which facilitate complete removal with minimal risk of recurrence. Interestingly, some studies have suggested that AOTs may occasionally arise within pre-existing dentigerous cysts, indicating a possible developmental relationship between the two entities.

A clinical case of successful application of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to eliminate a large residual cavity after enucleation of a radicular cyst is described. The method is based on the use of biological substances that produce growth factors that stimulate reparative osteogenesis. A similar source of growth factors is PRF.

In dental practice, impacted canines are common clinical conditions that compromise tooth mobility, thereby severely affecting functionality and esthetics. They also represent a significant challenge, particularly when associated with odontogenic pathologies such as dentigerous cysts and odontomas. These entities, despite benign, can cause complications, including tooth displacement, root resorption, and alterations in normal eruption, compromising both esthetics and function.
