Abstract

Between 1977 and 1987 a total of 31 patients with keratocysts were treated at the maxillofacial surgery department of the University of Cologne. In two patient groups with 11 major mandibular cysts each, two different approaches were used: mandibular resection in one, and enucleation following previous fixation of the cyst epithelium with Carnoy's solution in the other group. The fact that only one recurrence was observed in the second group, gives us reason to recommend this safe and, for the patient, unstressful procedure.
