Abstract

Non-inflammatory lesions of odontogenic epithelium show a spectrum of clinical behavior, ranging from indolent cysts of limited growth potential (lateral periodontal cyst), to potentially destructive cysts (dentigerous cyst), cystic neoplasms (keratocystic odontogenic tumors), and aggressive tumors (ameloblastoma). To better understand this behavioural cascade, in terms of molecular biology, we investigated the expression of human kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) 6,7,8,10,13 and 14 in these lesions.
