Overview
There are no established causes for ameloblastoma. It is thought that ameloblastoma may be the result of either decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 which helps in inhibition of the local invasiveness of ameloblastoma, or it is may be due to increased expression of α5β1 integrin which participate in the local invasiveness of ameloblastoma.
Causes
