Histologic features of OKC are pathognomonic. A 41-year-old male patient presented for emergency evaluation of a buccal gingival swelling in the area of teeth 34 and 35. Incision and drainage were followed 3 weeks later by surgical curettage and guided tissue regeneration using allograft and resorbable membrane. Biopsy of the excised tissue revealed OKC. At 1-year follow-up, the patient was comfortable and complete resolution of the radiolucent pathology was evident. Periodic examination is required because of the high rate of recurrence of OKC.Odontogenic cystOKCWorld health organizationdental laminaDevelopmental cystsNoninflammatory odontogenic cystJournal ArticleIndiaAssociate Professor, Department of General Pathology, Santharam Medical College, Nandyal, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaReader, Department of Oral Pathology, Sree Sai Dental College and Research Institute, Srikalulam, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaLecturer, Department of Oral Pathology, Sree Sai Dental College and Research Institute, Srikalulam, Andhra Pradesh, India
