The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is any association between inflammation and the expression of markers of cell cycle entry (Ki-67 and MCM-2) in dental follicle (DF) of asymptomatic impacted teeth and odontogenic cysts. The study consisted of 70 DFs and 20 odontogenic cysts (radicular cyst (RC), dentigerous cyst (DC) and keratocytic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) located at poste...

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) associated with ameloblastoma is an exceedingly rare histologic presentation with no known clinical significance or treatment applications. Four cases have been reported, three in the mandible and one in the maxilla. The age range is 14-65 and with male predilection. All four presented with swellings and two with pain. We add one more case to the literature of a...

A glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC), a rare type of occurring in the jawbone, comprises about 0.2 % all cases. Recurrence is likely, thus long-term follow-up examinations are necessary. The present patient was 24-year-old Japanese female with multilocular GOC that extirpated following marsupialization. Two years after initial extirpation, recurred and re-extirpation performed, no recurrence note...

objective: the ortho keratinized odontogenic cyst (ooc) is a rare lesion originates from dental lamina and clinically, it may be mistaken for many other odontogenic cysts and tumors. microscopically, it should be distinguished from kcot because of differences in biologic behavior and histologic features.   case: an interesting case of ooc arising in the edentulous mandibular right first premola...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a benign, slow growing lesion. It is a relatively uncommon lesion which mainly affects females in their second decade of life, exhibiting predilection for the anterior region of the maxilla. The lesion is usually associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth, most commonly the maxillary canine. We present a case of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor associated with...
