    Synopsis

    Based on literature reports and clinical experience, the author proposes an algorithm for surgically treating keratocystic odontogenic tumors. This algorithm gives indications for the three main (marsupialization, enucleation and resection) and three adjunctive (cryotherapy, Carnoy’s solution and peripheral ostectomy) surgical techniques commonly used to treat keratocystic odontogenic tumors.

    Learning Objectives
    1. Demonstrate a clear understanding of the position and classification of this lesion.
    2. Display a clear and logical understanding of the algorithm of treatment to get rid of the lesion.
    3. Describe a combined treatment of odontogenic keratocyst and mandibular defect with marsupialization, enucleation, iliac bone graft, and dental implants.
