Cyst or Tumor? A systematic review and meta-analysis on the expression of p53 marker in Odontogenic Keratocysts
The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a potentially aggressive odontogenic lesion and there is an ongoing debate regarding its biological behavior and classification. The present systematic review aims to assess the expression of the p53 protein in the odontogenic keratocyst in comparison to the denti...

Summary: | The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a potentially aggressive odontogenic lesion and there is an ongoing debate regarding its biological behavior and classification. The present systematic review aims to assess the expression of the p53 protein in the odontogenic keratocyst in comparison to the dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma.
We searched MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus for immunohistochemical studies reporting OKC's, dentigerous cysts and solid/multicystic ameloblastomas. The Risk Difference between the lesions expressing the p53 was the effect measure and a P value |
