Differences of immunohistochemical profiling of MOC-31, caveolin-1, connexin-43, Ki-67 in ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastic fibrodentinoma, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, and odontomas

This immunohistochemical study suggested that the similarity in protein expression between AFD, AFO, and AF compared with O may be due to the biological proximity among these lesions at the protein expression level. Further studies with larger sample sizes and complementary techniques are required to validate these findings.
