Tooth vitality preservation following odontogenic keratocyst enucleation: Systematic review and clinical implications

Despite limited data, preserving pulp vitality in teeth adjacent to odontogenic keratocysts appears both viable and clinically beneficial. This conservative approach may help avoid unnecessary endodontic procedures, especially in the absence of definitive signs of necrosis. However, long-term follow-up remains essential to monitor vitality changes over time. Further high-quality studies are necessary to establish predictive success factors and standardized clinical protocols.
