Nerve sparing enucleation and curettage was employed for the established cases of Odontogenic Cysts; Enucleation and curettage, peripheral ostectomy, followed by chemical cauterization was employed for the Unicystic Ameloblastomas and other Odontogenic tumours with a low Ki-67 and PCNA Proliferation Index (PI)/Labelling index (LI ≤ 3); Marginal resection was carried out for the tumours with a higher Labelling Index (LI >3 ≤5), and Segmental resection (including partial/complete Maxillectomy, Hemimandibulectomy with/without disarticulation) for the aggressive pathologies with high Labelling Index (LI > 5).
We carried out immunohistochemical analysis to evaluate the expression of p53, p63, and p73 in 60 samples of OC, including dentigerous cysts, radicular cysts, orthokeratinized OC, and odontogenic keratocysts (OKC).

Dental organs of various odontogenic stages and 30 OTs including solid multicystic ameloblastomas (SMA, 10 cases), ameloblastic fibroma (AF, 10 cases), odontogenic myxoma (OM, 10 cases), and odontogenic cysts: odontogenic keratocyst (OKC, 10 cases) were evaluated in both epithelial and mesenchymal components for the expression of BMP4 and FGF8 using immunohistochemistry.

With the accumulation of keratin in the stellate reticulum (SR) region and subsequent odontogenic cyst formation, SI cells gradually lost the ability to differentiate, and the expression of Sox2 and Notch1 was downregulated, leading to ameloblast depolarization.

Assessment of biologically aggressive, recurrent glandular odontogenic cysts for mastermind-like 2 (MAML2) rearrangements: histopathologic and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) findings in 11 cases.
To analyse the immunoreactivity of IL-1α, TNF-α and IL-10 in odontogenic cysts and tumours and to investigate possible associations with established biological behaviours of these different lesions.

This suggests that at least a subset of ODCs with mucous prosoplasia are characterized by molecular events considered diagnostic for intraosseous and extraosseous MEC.
Immunohistochemical validation of chosen putative biomarkers revealed axin interaction partner and dorsalization-antagonist (AIDA), known as a protein that blocks activation of JNK signalling pathway, as a differential biomarker for KCOT lesions on an independent cohort of KCOT tissue samples in comparison with most prevalent intra-oseal lesions inflammatory odontogenic cysts.
The immunoprofile of odontogenic keratocyst (keratocystic odontogenic tumor) that includes expression of PTCH, SMO, GLI-1 and bcl-2 is similar to ameloblastoma but different from odontogenic cysts.
