Context
While you could read or study from standard textbooks or even refer online resources, reading recent research and review papers play a key role in updating your understanding, as well as your knowledge of the subject.
But reading research or review papers could be a task (they could be lengthy, could be complex and packed with information), especially for undergrads who would not be used to reading them. I would recommend students (especially undergrads) to push through the discomfort and make the efforts to read papers. It would go a long way in creating a deep understanding and solid foundation in the subject.

The 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumours (2022) comes out only five years after the previous edition, however it presents important updates that run in parallel with the rapid progression involving the increasingly sophisticated molecular investigation and its interpretation, some of which already have therapy-related impact. This manuscript provides an overview of the leading changes introduced in the classification of Odontogenic and Maxillofacial Bone Tumours that encompasses cysts of the jaws, odontogenic tumours, giant cell lesions and bone cysts, and bone and cartilage tumours.
