A total of 24 patients with ameloblastoma scheduled to undergo surgery between 2000 and 2024 were included in the study. LCM was used to isolate tumor cells. Oxford nanopore technology (ONT) was used to analyze the collected cells. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were then performed on the 300 most highly expressed genes in the epithelial tissue and mesenchyme. Mandibular follicular ameloblastoma showed V600E mutations in all epithelial cells but not in the mesenchyme. The mutation rate was significantly higher in mandibular ameloblastomas compared to the maxilla ( < .05). RNA-seq showed that traditional follicular ameloblastoma epithelium was enriched in “growth factor receptor binding” and “angiogenesis regulation,” while the mesenchyme was enriched in “ECM receptor interaction.” KEGG enrichment analysis showed differential gene expression, mainly in MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways. Classical follicular ameloblastoma shows the presence of V600E mutation in epithelial tissue, with a higher mutation rate in the mandible than in the maxilla. The signaling pathways of MAPK and PI3K may be significantly involved in epithelial signal transduction.","PeriodicalId":501075,"journal":{"name":"Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OMD penetrance in hospitals and cancer centers was assessed at National Cancer Care Network (NCCN) cancer centers, and Best Hospitals as reported in the 2022 US News and World Report (USNWR). OMDs are present in 64% of the states with an uneven geographic distribution. Primary workplaces included dental schools (47%), hospitals (30%), and private practices (19%). Of the OMDs in private practice, 57% limited their practice to OM. OMDs were noted at 28% of NCCN cancer centers, 30% of USNWR Best Hospitals for Cancer, and 20% of USNWR Best Hospitals. There is low density and uneven distribution of OMDs with approximately one-third of the population without access to an OMD in their state, thus limiting access to care. This suggests both vast opportunities for growth and expansion of OM, as well as challenges in developing and training the necessary workforce.

Initially, multimedia were used to explain and demonstrate to them relevant anatomy, surgical principles, and procedural steps. This was followed by independent simulated surgeries by the students, culminating in the completion of a questionnaire. Independent samples test was used for statistical analysis. Before the simulated surgery, the residents had a greater understanding of the surgical design compared with the undergraduate students. After the simulated surgery, the residents showed not only significantly greater levels of understanding of the surgical design but also increased familiarity with the surgical process and enhanced confidence in independent surgery compared with the undergraduate students. Both groups showed a notable increase in familiarity with the surgical process and confidence in performing surgery independently after the simulated surgery.

Subsequently, the hemimandibles were surrounded by water to simulate soft tissue attenuation of radiation, and additional CBCT examinations were acquired in 4 modes: Endo, High-resolution, Standard-resolution, and Low-dose. These CBCT datasets were registered with corresponding intraoral scans obtained with the Carestream Dental 3600 intraoral scanning system using the Blue Sky Plan 4 software. Four oral radiologists measured the buccal gingival thickness on cross-sectional reconstructions at 4 measurement sites and 2 distances from the gingival margin in the CBCT reference standard examinations and examinations obtained with water and intraoral scan registration. Multifactorial analysis of variance was used to assess the influence of acquisition mode, measurement site, and distance from the gingival margin on measurements (α = 5%; statistical power = 90%).
