Expression of P63 in Oral Mucosa Covering Impacted Teeth: An Immunohistochemical Study

Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine the expression of p63 gene in asymptomatic enclosed lower third molar covering oral mucosa.  Design:  :  50 samples of normal oral mucosa taken from 50 patients  who underwent third molar surgery were included into the study. The samples were subdivided into two groups. One group was made of oral mucosa covering completely impacted teeth, while other group was made of oral mucosa  covering partially impacted teeth.Only nuclear staining of the cells was evaluated by percentage of positive cells.Results: : Immunoexpression of p63 was almost equal in submucosa cells of both groups, showing a faint to intermediate positivity. Basal layer of oral mucosa covering completely  enclosed teeth have shown a stronger expression of p63 than it was the case with the other group. Conclusion: Expression of p63 is noticed in basal and suprabasal layers of oral mucosa covering impacted teeth. Weak expression of p63 in basal layer of oral mucosa covering partially impacted teeth, migh be associated with teeth eruption, lesser number of stem cells and thinner  mucosa patch than it is a case with oral mucosa covering completely impacted teeth.   &nbsp
