What are the differences between a periapical cyst and a keratocyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OKC vs periapical: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental, noninflammatory chronic cyst. Periapical cyst is an inflammatory process originating from a non-vital tooth. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathological correlations are the key for proper patient diagnosis. See an oral surgeon.
