Table 3.
Correlations between the anti-S100-stained Langerhans cell (LC) counts in the lining epithelia or in the subepithelial connective tissues of 80 dentigerous cysts and lining epithelial thickness.
| Thickness of lining epithelium | Mean LC count ± SD (cells/high-power field) |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Lining epithelium | Subepithelial connective tissue | aP-value | |
| ≤50 μm (n = 68) | 0.6 ± 0.6 | 0.6 ± 0.6 | 0.886 |
| >50 μm (n = 54) | 8.6 ± 7.1 | 4.8 ± 4.5 | 0.001 |
| aP-value | <0.001 | <0.001 | |
