This study presents a clinical observation on the treatment of extensive keratocysts occupying 1/3 of the entire volume of the lower jaw using the method of reconstruction of bone wounds using a bone allograft of the femoral head. Keratocyst - (primary cyst), formed from odontogenic epithelium in those places where there are teeth. Keratocysts grow, as a rule, along the body of the jaw and lead to its pronounced deformation. In most cases, this is an accidental finding when performing an x-ray examination of the jaws, or patients seek help from a doctor with complaints of already pronounced and long-existing deformity of the jaw.
