Background: Ameloblastoma is the most frequent of the benign epithelial odontogenic tumours. It exhibits a unique biologic behavior which demands meticulous understanding for thorough diagnosis and management. P53 tumor suppressor protein functions as a gatekeeper of cell division, inducing either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. While mutations in the p53 gene are often detected in human cancers; the role of p53 in ameloblastoma remains elusive.

Material and methods: To investigate p53 expression in ameloblastoma, a retrospective study was designed to evaluate and compare immunohistochemical p53 protein expression patterns, in follicular ameloblastoma, plexiform ameloblastoma and unicystic ameloblastoma. Nine paraffin-embedded archival tissue …
