The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a frequently developing odontogenic cyst that accounts for 10%-14% of all jaw cysts. Due to the high recurrence rate, aggressive therapeutic techniques such as jaw resection and marsupialization are indicated. Following a conservative marsupialization procedure in which Carnoy's solution and an iodoform packing were used, the clinical, radiological, and histological evaluation of OKC in a 12-year-old female patient revealed no evidence of recurrence over the subsequent year of follow-up.
