Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of collagen IV, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9 and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP) 2 in dentigerous cysts (DCs), radicular cysts (RCs), keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOTs), and ameloblastomas.Study design. Twenty cases of DCs, 20 RCs, 20 KOTs, and 20 ameloblastomas were selected and analyzed by immunohistochemistry.Results. Most DCs and RCs showed continuous and > 50% staining for collagen IV in the basement membrane of the epithelium, whereas predominantly discontinuous thin and
