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

Common Causes

Common causes of ameloblastoma may include:^[1]^[2]

Decreased expression of of matrix metalloproteinase-2
Increased expression α5β1 integrin

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of ameloblastoma may include:^[2]

Mouth or jaw injury
Infections
Inflammation
Diet lacks in protein or minerals

Genetic Causes

Ameloblastoma is caused by a mutation in the FGFR2-RAS-BRAF V600E gene.^[3]^[4]
