Odontogenic keratocyst has the following feature:____________?

Correct answer: B. Is developmental in origin

  • A. Occurs due to infection periapically
  • B. Is developmental in origin
  • C. Can be treated by aspiration
  • D. Has low recurrence rate

Explanation

An odontogenic keratocyst develops from remnants of the dental lamina, so it is developmental rather than periapical inflammatory in origin. Aspiration alone is not definitive treatment, and its recurrence rate is relatively high.
