Odontogenic keratocysts/primordial cyst is a prominent developmental odontogenic cyst arising from the dental lamina. Attributing to its aggressive growth and development into tumoral lesions, there are several debates and opinions about the varied origin and development of this cyst to the modalities of treatment. They have high rates of recurrence. This present study represents a case of odontogenic keratocysts associated with all the impacted 3rd molars and maxillary canine in a 13 year old female, who presented with a symptomatic swelling on the involved areas. The case report has aimed at ruling out any underlying syndromic signs and a programmed treatment of the cysts in order to achieve a complete healing of the lesions. The recurrence was assessed at equal intervals of time.
