Abstract

Carnoy’s solution is a substance used as a complementary treatment after the conservative exeresis of a keratocystic odontogenic tumor. The application of Carnoy solution promotes a superficial chemical necrosis and is intended to reduce recurrence rates. However, the inferior alveolar vascular-nervous plexus can occasionally be exposed after the removal of a lesion. The safety of the application of Carnoy solution over this plexus has been reported on, but to date, no clinical report has been made. The authors present two cases that were given Carnoy solution over the inferior alveolar vascularnervous plexus as a complementary treatment for the keratocystic odontogenic tumor. Effective control of recurrence with low and transient neural morbidity was suggested with this technique.
