Queratocisto odontogênico: revisão de literatura.

Abstract

Cysts are pathological cavities that have benign odontogenic origin, affect the jaws more and may reach remarkable dimensions. Cystic lesions present in most cases a slow and continuous development, however the odontogenic keratocyst (OQ) or odontogenic keratocyst (CO) has a relevance compared to other cysts of odontogenic origin, pertinent to invasive behavior, aggressive and high recurrences and in addition to its clinical characteristics, also presents unique genetic characteristics. Radiographically, presents in a unior multilocular form, when manifested in multiple lesions may be associated with Gorlin Syndrome (SCNB), contains in the literature a consensus on the syndromic keratocysts that show a high aggressiveness, growth capacity and higher recurrence rate compared to keratocyst alone, this is due to the explanation of the genetic changes present as in the PTCH gene that is the most expressive , in addition to the elimination of tumor suppressor genes. It presents several forms of treatment aimed at reducing the discharge of recurrence, contains treatments considered conservative and radical, however, the best treatment for this pathology is still not unanimous. Due to these controversies about the dental keratocyst, this research aims to conduct a bibliographic survey selecting articles available in the integration from 2010 to 2020, on the odontogenic keratocyst and its possible etiologies, history, clinical characteristics, imaging, histopathological, forms of treatment and proservation.
