Odontogenic keratocyst has a high incidence of recurrence. It is best to go for enucleation (removing the whole cyst). Whether you need resection of the jaw or not will depend upon the size of the cyst. But don't worry, if you do need it, you can have bone grafting done to rebuild the jaw bone.

Consult a maxillofacial surgeon
