Abstract

An odontogenic keratocyst is a common oral lesion with high recurrence rates. There is an absence of a solid treatment consensus. Recurrence rates are reported to be higher in conservative treatment options. In this case report, we present a new method, utilizing a specially fabricated acrylic stent-obturator, aiding the conservative treatment methods in order to minimize lesion recurrence. A 42-year-old Saudi male with a 3.5 x 2.5 keratocyst on the right mandibular angle was treated successfully and conservatively in full abidance by medical community standards using the stent-obturator after lesion curettage alone, with no recurrence at three year follow up.
