Abstract

The maxillofacial region is frequently affected by the developmental odontogenic cyst known as an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), which develops from the remnants of the dental lamina. Due to their ability to grow aggressively, potentially recur, and be linked to hereditary disorders, it is crucial to have an accurate diagnosis for OKC.  The OKC stands out among jaw cysts and has a propensity to return associated with combative clinical behavior. This report discusses, a 27-year-old female, experiencing pain and swelling in the mandibular left anterior and posterior regions. After reviewing medical history and conducting medical, radiological, along with histopathological examinations, it was determined that she had an odontogenic keratocyst. In order to treat this condition, surgical enucleation, which is a conservative strategy known for its positive outcomes and BIPP packing have been utilized. The process of bone formation completes over time and the swelling shrinks in size.
