Abstract:Odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) are aggressive cysts with a high recurrence potential. Treating them with surgical enucleation procedures alone is associated with high recurrence rates; therefore, additional or supportive treatment approaches, such as peripheral osteotomy, cryotherapy, and chemical solutions, are warranted. The objective of the present review was to evaluate the existing literature on the efficacy of chemical approaches, such as Carnoy’s solution (CS), in preventing recurrence after the enucleat… Show more
“…The RR of combined therapy has been reported to be 11–18.7 % [ 1 , 18 ]. When using CS, the risk of lesions of the inferior alveolar nerve must be considered [ 25 ]. Therefore, the CS was rinsed with sodium chloride for 1 min.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
