Abstract: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a common cystic lesion of the jaw. The nomenclature and nature of OKC remain controversial as a result of its local invasive behavior and high tendency of recurrence, which is evidently different from other types of jaw cysts. With the in-depth study of OKC pathogenesis and the advance of treatment concept and surgical techniques, it becomes possible to reduce the rate of postoperative recurrence and simultaneous functional reconstruction of the jaw. To establish standard diagnosis and treatment algorithms or guidelines of OKC, we organized peer experts in China to reach a consensus on pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, histopathological features, surgery and postoperative follow-up strategies of OKC for the references of clinicians.
