- Odontogenic tumors and cysts, including common benign neoplasms like ameloblastomas, mainly occur in the jaws, showing slow growth but potential for local invasion and higher recurrence rates post-surgery.
- Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a role in the development and progression of ameloblastomas, helping with protein folding and responding to cellular stress.
- The review highlights the origins, functions, and deregulation of HSPs, emphasizing their impact on ameloblastomas and related inflammatory and developmental odontogenic cysts.
