    Abstract: Ameloblastoma is a locally invasive benign epithelial odontogenic tumor and its histopathological structures are similar to the enamel organ. Although various studies have investigated cell proliferation in ameloblastoma to elucidate the biological behavior and clinicopathological mechanisms, it remains poorly understood. The studies on the develop... Show More
