    A comparative immunohistochemical study of Ki-67 expression in adenomatoid odontogenic tumour, unicystic ameloblastoma and dentigerous cyst
    (University of the Western Cape, 2014) Fakir, E; Hille, J; Morkel, J
    The aim of this study was to investigate the biological profile oftheAOT by comparing the Ki-67 proliferative indices of the AOT, Unicystic Ameloblastoma (UA) and Dentigerous Cyst (DC) using ImmunoRatio® software. Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumours (AOTs) are classified as benign epithelial odontogenic neoplasms with mature fibrous stroma, without odontogenic mesenchyme. However these lesions, like odontomes, occur almost exclusively during the final period of odontogenesis, and clinically behave like self-limiting hamartomatous lesions. Histologically they seem to arise from the lining of dental follicles

    Oral medicine case book 55: ondontogenic myxoma
    (South African Dental Association (SADA), 2013) Holmes, Haly; Mulder, Sune; Dreyer, Wynand P; Fakir, E; Roberts, T; Wainright, H
    A 20-year old female was referred from her local community health clinic to the Oral Medicine Clinic at Groote Schuur Hospital for a swelling that started out as a small and painless lesion. She had attended the local clinic approximately two months earlier when the growth increased in size, her teeth loosened and the lesion became symptomatic. At that time, her upper left molar teeth were extracted but, despite this, the lesion continued to enlarge.
