Abstract: Objective It was to evaluate the outcome of marsupialization with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in treatment of keratocysticodontogenic tumors (KCOT). Methods Eighteen patients with KCOT in jaw were treated with marsupialization. Obturator was used to keep drainage open. Eighteen cases were divided into two groups: the cavity was rinsed by EGCG solution in eightcases and by normal saline (NS) in the other ten ones. Panoramic radiograph and CT were taken every two months follow-up. Volume of the cavity was evaluated and curettage was given as the diameter of the cavity was less than 2centimeters.Results Thediameter of the cavity was less than 2centimeters in six to eight months after marsupialization in the group with EGCG and curettage treatment was given to take off the left cyst wall. It need twelve to sixteen months to take curettage in the group with NS. The duration of marsupialization with EGCG was significantly less than that with NS, P<0.05. Conclusion Marsupialization with EGCG was an effective method to treat KCOT and could obviously reduce the duration of treatment.
