Abstract: Introduction: Carnoy’s solution (CS), has been barred for 7 years, without data to support its effectiveness. Hence in the present study we evaluate the effectiveness of modified carnoys (MC) compared to carnoys solution in preventing recurrence of odontogenic keratocysts. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing CS or for the recurrence and time to recurrence. The values obtained were compared. Results: we observed that in both the recurrence was similar, Median time to recurrence was 2 years. Preserving adjacent teeth was associated with a significant increase in recurrence. Conclusion: We observed no significant difference in recurrence rate or distribution of time to recurrence between OKCs treated with CS or MC.
