background and aims. odontogenic cysts and tumors have a wide spectrum of clinical characteristics that lead to the different management strategies. since definite diagnosis is difficult in some cases, it has been suggested that cd56 may be a candidate marker for definitive diagnosis of some odontogenic tumors. the present study was designed to examine cd56 expression in lesions with histopatho...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to investigate the relative frequency of developmental odontogenic cysts in an iranian population. materials and methods. in this study 245 cysts from both jaws, treated in the faculty of dentistry at tabriz university of medical sciences during a 10-year period from 1998 to 2008, were analyzed in order to evaluate the incidence of such cysts. we h...

conclusions the her3 expression in developmental odontogenic cysts was higher than that in inflammatory odontogenic cysts. the higher rate of her3 expression in okc may justify inherent growth potential, stimulation-independent proliferation capability, invasive growth and high recurrence rate of the cyst accepted today as a tumor. results the her3 expression had positive results in 52.4% of ok...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To investigate the expression of CD10 and osteopontin in dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma and to correlate their expression with neoplastic potentiality of dentigerous cyst and local invasion and risk of local recurrence in ameloblastoma. METHODS CD10 and osteopontin expression was studied by means of immunohistochemistry in 9 cases of dentigerous cysts (DC) and 17 cases...

dentigerous cysts, commonly encountered in the practice of dentistry, are benign odontogenic cysts associated with crowns of unerupted and/or impacted permanent teeth. they frequently occur during the second and third decades of life. treatment modalities range from enucleation to marsupialization, which may be influenced by the age of the patient, severity of impaction, and root form of associ...

Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is an extremely rare benign tumor that accounts for 0.1% of all odontogenic tumors. It is a lesion associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth resembling dentigerous cyst. In this report, a 10-year-old male patient is presented, who was diagnosed with central odontogenic fibroma of simple type from clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings.

. The eruption cyst is regarded as a soft tissue analogue of the dentigerous cyst, but is considered as a distinct clinical entity. It is defined as a cyst that lies superficial to the crown of an erupting tooth, and is lined by stratified squamous non-keratinizing epithelium. Clinically, it appears as a soft, often translucent swelling of the gingival mucosa overlying the crown of the involved...

Dentigerous cyst is the second most common developmental odontogenic affecting 0.91-7.3% of population and always associated with an impacted tooth. They are commonly found lower third molars followed by upper canines, premolars, molars.The current treatment protocol for surgical enucleation or marsupialization extraction Three-dimensional (3D) printing industrial revolution, in which 3D models...
