Summary
Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is an aggressive cystic lesion of the jaws and one of the most common odontogenic cysts, usually affecting the posterior region of the mandible. Recurrences are frequently recorded and may be directly related to the treatment modality adopted. Two patients presenting OKC were treated by combining decompression and intralesional irrigation with the drug Elixir Sanativo® for 8 months before enucleation surgery. In both patients, the association between decompression and irrigation with Elixir Sanativo® represented a safe and effective method to reduce the preoperative lesion dimensions.
KEY WORDS: odontogenic cysts, conservative treatment, phytotherapy.
