A competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to measure the concentration of lactoferrin in fluids from 36 odontogenic keratocysts, 15 dentigerous cysts, and 30 radicular/residual cysts. Keratocyst fluids contained significantly higher concentrations of lactoferrin than fluids from the other two types of cyst (p less than 0.001); but the range of values obtained withi...

UNLABELLED Statement of the Problem : Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor which is slow-growing, locally invasive and exhibit specific biologic behavior and high recurrence rate. Likewise, odontogenic keratocyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst that has a high recurrence rate and aggressive behavior. There are limited studies considering the relationship between the angiogenes...

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess and compare RANK, RANKL, OPG immunoexpression in dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, ameloblastoma. protocol registered PROSPERO (CRD42018105543). Seven databases (Embase, Lilacs, LIVIVO, PubMed, Scopus, SciELO, Web Science) were the primary search sources two (Open Grey Open Thesis) partially captured “grey literature”. Only cross sectional st...

This review will highlight some current areas of difficulty or controversy in diagnosis and treatment of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS). The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) has significant growth capacity and recurrence potential and is occasionally indicative of the NBCCS. The objective of this study is to clarify the causes of the recurrence of OKC in NBCCS. A literature search was...

Introduction: The odontogenic keratocyst is a common cyst which affects mainly the posterior region of mandible.
 Aims: aim this study was to discuss clinical management keratocyst, based on case report and an integrative literature review.
 Case Report: A 34-year-old woman has visited Oral Surgery Division with complaint alignment discomfort her teeth. Radiographic examination showed...

Background: Odontogenic keratocyst is relatively common developmental odontogenic lesion occurring with a frequency of approximately 10-14% all jaw cyst. Aim: To find the clinic-radiologic pattern cases. Study design: Descriptive cross sectional. Methodology: Present study was conducted at Pathology and diagnostic Medicine, Khyber Medical University Peshawar in which 83 patients were enrolled. ...

Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) accounts for 3-11% of all odontogenic cysts. OKC is a benign intra-osseous tumor, but what makes this cyst special its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate. relatively compared to other cysts, malignant transformation considered extremely rare. Squamous cell carcinoma associated with keratocysts have rarely been reported in the medical literature. We recentl...

OBJECTIVE Is to highlight the characteristics and management of odontogenic keratocyst in children only. MATERIAL AND METHOD Computerized search in pubmed between (2005-2015) using specific words such as odontogenic keratocyst in children, odontogenic keratocyst association with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome with abstract written in English only. RESULT During computerized literature search 77 arti...

The aim was to review previous cases of Odontogenic Keratocyst or Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor according to the new WHO classification. We used all cases diagnosed as Odontogenic Keratocyst or Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor registered in the archives of the Pathologic Anatomy Laboratory of the Department of Pathology and Oral Diagnosis of the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of R...
