Immunoexpression of <scp>RANK</scp>,<scp> RANKL</scp>,<scp> OPG</scp>,<scp> VEGF</scp>, and v<scp>WF</scp> in radicular and dentigerous cysts

Abstract

Ours results suggest that RANK and RANKL play an important role in bone resorption in DC and the hemorrhagic areas in the capsule of DC could be explained by increased vessel's number. The higher VEGF expression in RC might be related to nature of these lesions, where the inflammatory process contributes significantly to these findings.
