ABSTRACT: Odontognic Keratocyst (OKC) may be benign cystic neoplasm, OKC may give an erroneous radiographical impression that they are dentigerous, lateral periodontal, residual, or even so called fissural cyst. It was this belief in origin of the cyst from primordial odontogenic epithelium that led for some time use as primordial cyst. The true nature OKC or currently known as keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is still a dilemma.
