RESUMO
Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is an aggressive cystic lesion of the jaws and one of the most common odontogenic cysts, usually affecting the posterior region of the mandible. Recurrences are frequently recorded and may be directly related to the treatment modality adopted. Two patients presenting OKC were treated by combining decompression and intralesional irrigation with the drug Elixir Sanativo® for 8 months before enucleation surgery. In both patients, the association between decompression and irrigation with Elixir Sanativo® represented a safe and effective method to reduce the preoperative lesion dimensions.
El queratoquiste odontogénico (QO) es una lesión quística agresiva de la mandíbula y es uno de los quistes odontogénicos más frecuentes, que suele afectar a la región posterior de la mandíbula. Las recidivas se registran con frecuencia y pueden estar directamente relacionadas con la modalidad de tratamiento adoptada. Presentación del caso: Dos pacientes que presentaban OKC fueron tratados combinando descompresión e irrigación intralesional con el fármaco Elixir Sanativo® durante 8 meses antes de la cirugía de enucleación. En ambos pacientes, la asociación entre descompresión e irrigación con Elixir Sanativo® representó un método seguro y eficaz para reducir las dimensiones de la lesión preoperatoria.

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare dental anomaly of unknown etiology that can affect both deciduous and permanent dentition. RO is characterized by severe hypoplasia of enamel and dentin, and teeth affected are friable and more susceptible to caries and fractures. Most of the lesions occur in the anterior maxilla and correlation with clinical and radiographic features is essential to provide a correct diagnosis. The major criteria for diagnosis are predominantly based on radiography, which shows presence of large pulp chambers and a marked reduction in the radiopacity of enamel and dentin, making the distinction between these mineralized structures difficult. Early diagnosis is important to minimize future sequels and allow preventive or conservative treatment. The therapeutic approach of the RO should be based on the degree of severity of the anomaly and in the individual functional and aesthetic needs of each case. A classic case of RO affecting the maxilla is exemplified in this Sine Qua Non Radiology-Pathology article.
