5th - Nasolabial Cyst: This non-odontogenic cyst, while less common, also shows some recurrence, typically around 5-10% after treatment. Though not as aggressive as odontogenic cysts, incomplete excision can lead to recurrences.

4th - Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (COC): Also known as the Gorlin cyst, this cyst has a moderate recurrence rate, though lower than that of OKC or GOC. Recurrence rates are generally around 10-20%. While it’s less aggressive than the top three, its potential for recurrence should not be overlooked.

3rd - Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC): Although rare, the glandular odontogenic cyst has a significant recurrence rate due to its locally aggressive nature. Recurrence rates for this cyst are reported to range from 21-50% in various studies.

2nd - Botryoid Odontogenic Cyst: This is a variant of the lateral periodontal cyst and has a higher recurrence rate compared to other odontogenic cysts. Recurrence rates vary, but some studies report rates as high as 15-30%.

1st - Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC): Formerly known as keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT), the odontogenic keratocyst has a high recurrence rate, often reported between 25-30%. Its aggressive growth pattern and potential for recurrence make it one of the most significant cysts in terms of recurrence.
