Molecular Insights Into Epithelial Detachment in Odontogenic Keratocyst: The Role of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Effects of Marsupialization
MMP9 may play a critical role in epithelial detachment in OKCs and could serve as a therapeutic target or prognostic marker. Marsupialization appears to modulate matrix metalloproteinases expression, suggesting a molecular mechanism for its clinical benefits.
