Abstract

Abstract Background: There are still certain gaps in the research that need to be filled despite the fact that numerous studies have looked into the transformation of odontogenic cysts into neoplastic lesions. To identify pertinent research that had been published and to synthesise the available data and provide an overview of the current body of knowledge, this review also sought to do so. Materials and Methods: Adopting the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a search strategy was implemented across several online databases to search for relevant articles as per the defined selection criterion. Results: After the search strategy was complete, 31 studies were chosen. Men tended to have more cancer than women. Swelling and discomfort were the primary pathology-related complaints. Although two cases were not detailed, radiologically, well-defined and poorly defined borders were reported in 18 and 11 participants, respectively. Squamous cell carcinoma with good differentiation (n = 12) was the most common cancer kind. More than 74% of patients were still living 6 months to 10 years following follow-up, four (12.90%) experienced recurrences and/or metastases and two (6.45%) experienced a disease-related mortality between 2 months and a year. Conclusion: Prompt surgical follow-ups and cautious excision of odontogenic cysts are essential to avoiding neoplastic change and recurrence. Future research is required to look at possible reasons why odontogenic cysts can convert neoplastically.
