Management of a Mandibular Odontogenic Keratocyst with Enucleation, Piezotome-Assisted Peripheral Ostectomy, and Platelet-Rich Fibrin—A Case Report
This case highlights the low morbidity associated with enucleation and piezotome-assisted peripheral ostectomy, which may be preferable to other aggressive OKC treatment modalities in selected cases. Additionally, PRF use was associated with favorable postoperative healing, with minimal pain, swelling, and inflammation. Radiographic stability at 36 months supports the feasibility of this approach; however, larger studies are needed to compare recurrence risk with other interventions.
