Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are known for their tendency to recur, and while surgical resection is the most reliable treatment, it negatively impacts patient function and appearance; modified Carnoy's solution (MCS) is being explored as a way to reduce recurrence.*

Results showed that while 5-FU had similar effects on pain and swelling as MCS, it was a more feasible and cost-effective option that may
