OBJECTIVES. TO report our experience in the surgical treatment of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) patients using a ' conservative approach and evaluation of clinical results. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A clinical case treated conservatively with cystectomy and curettage of peripheral bone is fully described, with reference to the recurrence rate and review of the various treatment methods. CONCLUSIONS. Based on these results the conservative treatment of OKC offers a viable alternative to radical surgical excision. The OKC treated with an aggressive approach has a lower morbidity rate, but this method could be reserved 1 for recurrent cysts after conservative means.
