The most ideal expianation for recurrence of odontogenic keratocyst is:____________?

Correct answer: C. Presence of satellite cysts or daughter cysts

  • A. Increased mitotic activity of the epithelial lining
  • B. Friability of the epithelial lining
  • C. Presence of satellite cysts or daughter cysts
  • D. Continued proliferation of rests of dental lamina

Explanation

Satellite or daughter cysts can remain in the surrounding cancellous bone and later form new keratocysts, making them a major explanation for recurrence. Friability and increased epithelial proliferation also contribute, but daughter cysts are the best single choice.
