Abstract

Aims: To assess the immunohistochemical expression of wild-type p53 (wt-p53), bcl2 andki67 on the basal layer of proliferating radicular cyst.Methods: The histopathological examination revealed the presence of proliferatingradicular cysts in 22 specimens. Paraffin-embedded histological slices of 22 radicular cystswere examined by immunohistochemistry for expression of wt-p53, bcl2, and ki67 in thebasal layer of proliferating radicular cysts.Results: A significant correlation was found between bcl2 and ki67 at the level of p<0.05.The wt-p53 was found to be positive in all slices which act as a constant factor. Thecovariance effect of wt-p53 on the correlation of bcl2 and ki67 was found to be significantat the level of 0.05.Conclusions: The c...
