A review of the molecular profile of benign and malignant odontogenic lesions

This article summarizes and discusses studies using small, medium, and large-scale and/or “-omic” techniques to describe the molecular characteristics of benign and malignant odontogenic lesions and briefly debates strategies to increase the use of “-omic” and multi-omic approaches or integrative analyses in the research of these lesions. A comprehensive understanding of the molecular aspects of odontogenic lesions by using large-scale approaches will enable us to refine the classification of this heterogeneous group of disorders and provide more accurate biomarkers for precise diagnosis, prognosis, and development of molecular tools in the management of patients with these conditions.
