The behavior of benign odontogenic lesions - Juliana Pinheiro - Bog

Odontogenic lesions depend on a failure between the various signaling pathways found in our bodies. Understanding the relationship between transcription factors and the behavior of such lesions, as well as the molecular mechanisms involved in benign odontogenic lesions, may, in the future, reveal new therapeutic targets so that new forms of treatment that are more effective, definitive and that increase clinical viability with a view to controlling such lesions can be developed. The literature shows a strong relationship between the transcription factors discussed in this review and various pathologies found in the oral cavity. However, more extensive and specific studies addressing each of the transcription factors, their molecular mechanisms and genetic expression are necessary to fully understand their relationship with the particularities and functions found in the oral cavity, which is constantly undergoing remodeling and is also in a continuous state of local inflammation due to constant contact with external agents.
