Popis: Background: Most common impacted teeth are the mandibular third molars and decision about extraction of them is usually controversial. The presence of pericoronal pathologic changes is an acceptable reason for removal of impacted teeth. Differences in the proliferation rate and apoptosis of odontogenic epithelial cells may influence on the formation of odontogenic epithelial lesions. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of the bcl-2 apoptosis-inhibiting protein and the cell-cycle-related ki-67 antigen in pericoronal follicle of impacted third molars with ≥2.5 mm and
