| Popis: | Odontogenic keratocyst (OK) accounts for 3% to 11% of all odontogenic cysts. Most occur between the first and fourth decade of life, with a slight prevalence for men, and the posterior mandible is more affected. This study aims to report a case of OK in the region of ment with 2-year follow-up without relapses. A female patient with leukoderma and edentulism complained of swelling in the mental protuberance region, which avoided the use of prosthesis, and in the symphyseal region with integrity of the underlying mucosa. Decompression is an approach that reduces cystic fluid pressure, which allows the volume of the cavity to reduce and, thus, allows for bone apposition around the walls of the lesion, avoiding more invasive treatments. The treatment of OK with decompression and subsequent enucleation and curettage allowed the preservation of the cortical bone and mucous membranes and was considered a successful approach. |
