Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: No studies to date have examined human papillomavirus (HPV) positivity in both odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) and dentigerous cysts (DCs) or performed HPV genotyping in these lesions. This research aims to compare HPV expression rates in DCs and OKCs to provide insight into the molecular behavior of OKCs. METHODS: Forty DC and forty OKC cases were randomly selected and analyzed for HPV-DNA expression....
