Abstract :
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a unique developmental odontogenic cyst which seem to be controversy’s favourite child since the time of its inception. This lesion has garnered special attention over the last two decades owing to the increasing confusion over its nomenclature and classification. Whether the change in category of OKC ends here or continues in the future will be an interesting watch. This commentary thus provides an insight into the ongoing debate and attempts to provide a constructive criticism on the same.
