Diagnostic significance of NM23 protein in ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma: An immunohistochemical study.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the use of NM23 immunohistochemical expression to help diagnose and differentiate between ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma, especially in cases where traditional methods are inconclusive.
- Positive NM23 staining was found in all tumor cases, with stronger expression in ameloblastic carcinoma compared to atypical and classical ameloblastoma, indicating its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.
- The researchers suggest that while NM23 shows promise for distinguishing between these tumors, further research with a larger sample size is needed to confirm their results.
Aims: The aims of this study were to describe the pattern of presentation of halitosis and to evaluate the success rate following routine dental intervention irrespective of the type of halitosis.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among sixty consecutive patients who presented in our Oral Diagnosis and Oral Medicine Clinic, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, on account of halitosis from May 2015 to April 2016. Diagnosis of halitosis was made using the organoleptic method from a whole mouth breath test as described by Miyazaki et al.
