Скачать или смотреть Dental Digest | Oral Pathology | Episode 18 – Orthokeratinized Odontogenic Cyst (OOC)

💡 In this episode, we'll cover:

✅ Definition & Pathogenesis:
How OOC develops as a distinct developmental odontogenic cyst with orthokeratinization

✅ Clinical Features:
Usually asymptomatic, discovered incidentally on radiographs, most common in posterior mandible

✅ Radiographic Appearance:
A well-defined unilocular or multilocular radiolucency, often associated with an impacted tooth

✅ Histopathology:
Lined by thin orthokeratinized stratified squamous epithelium with a prominent granular cell layer

✅ Differential Diagnosis:
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), dentigerous cyst, lateral periodontal cyst, radicular cyst

✅ Management:
Conservative enucleation with low recurrence rate—unlike OKC

✅ Exam Tip:
If the stem mentions orthokeratinization with a granular layer, think OOC! Remember: OOC is benign with minimal recurrence vs. OKC which is more aggressive.

🎯 Why This Matters for Your Boards:
OOC tests your ability to differentiate it from the more aggressive odontogenic keratocyst—a high-yield distinction for INBDE and AFK exams.

Whether you're preparing for INBDE, AFK, or ADAT, this episode brings you exam-relevant clarity in under 10 minutes.
