Implant-based rehabilitation of a large mandibular odontogenic keratocyst with 7-year follow-up

Abstract

In this case report we present a 25-year-old male patient with a large odontogenic keratocyst and treatment with enucleation and chemical cauterization followed by dental implants with a 7-year follow-up.
