Description
Nur Efşan Aydın and co-authors reviewed 24 years of jaw cyst cases in a 2026 study. Odontogenic keratocysts are developmental cysts that grow quietly in the jaw, often near the back of the lower jaw. They are notorious for coming back after treatment, so the best removal method is still argued. The team compared how each treatment used at their center fared on recurrence.
Simple scooping out of the cyst, called enucleation, showed the highest return rate in this cohort. A gentler method that first shrinks the cyst through an opening, called marsupialization, came with fewer returns. The authors say conservative treatment can work for well-chosen cases. But because returns can arrive late, they stress long-term checkups with exams and scans for every patient.
