Abstract: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is defined as an intraosseous lesion of odontogenic origin, which can be unicystic or polycystic. The selection of a treatment strategy is complex, and several conservative and surgical approaches with varying rates of recurrence have been covered in the literature. To prevent further damage in these individuals, patients should have the proper diagnostic and treatment plan taken into consideration. For proliferative and osteolytic lesions in gnathic bones, OKC should be ruled out as a differential diagnosis. In this article, we present three cases who had OKC diagnoses and underwent enucleation; so far, there has been no recurrence.
