First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether applying 5-fluorouracil cream or Carnoy's solution after cyst removal lowers the chance of the cyst coming back. Fifty adults with odontogenic keratocysts in the jaw will be treated and followed for up to five years. The main goal is to see which method leads to fewer recurrences and less nerve damage.

- Active substance
- 5-fluorouracil cream and Carnoy's solution
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a better way to reduce cyst recurrence after surgery, potentially lowering the need for repeat procedures.
