Why it matters for dental
Oral surgeons and oral pathologists treating odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) may use a nomogram built from recurrence data after curettage or marsupialization to flag cases at higher risk of early recurrence.
Key points
- Retrospective study from BMC Oral Health analyzes factors associated with recurrence in OKC treated by curettage or marsupialization.
- Study constructs a nomogram intended to predict early recurrence after those two procedures.
- Target audience includes specialists managing jaw cysts that require surgical intervention.
