Prevalence and Molecular Insights of Human Papillomavirus in Dentigerous Cysts and Odontogenic Keratocysts: A Comparative Study

Despite OKCs' aggressive behavior, this study found no significant association between HPV and their pathogenesis. These findings suggest HPV is unlikely to contribute to OKC proliferation or recurrence, underscoring the need for larger studies to clarify its role in odontogenic cysts.
