Odontogenic Tumors. Conservative Treatment. Recurrence.
The purpose of this study is to verify the recurrence rate and associated factors after the use of Carnoy’s solution as adjuvant treatment of aggressive benign odontogenic lesions. This cross-sectional study conducted an evaluation of all patients submitted to a protocol of enucleation and peripheral ostectomy associated with Carnoy’s Solution for the treatment of lesions like Keratocyst, Ameloblastoma and Odontogenic Myxomas in the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology of UFRN. The patients were contacted and submitted to clinical and radiographic examination to determine the recurrence rate. The study consisted of two phases, represented by the data collection of the medical records (phase I) and the clinical and radiographic evaluation of the patients (phase II). Descriptive and statistical analyzes were performed using the SPSS program (Statistical Package for Social Science, version 21.0, Chicago Illinois, USA). The tests used were Fisher's exact test, Chi-square test, the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test, with p <0.05.
