Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor. It is a slow-growing generally asymptomatic lesion and more prevalent in children and adolescents. This article presents interesting case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma involving anterior maxilla of 15-year-old male patient. Occlusal radiograph showed a large, well-demarcated radiolucency with radiopaque areas and minia...

Odontoma is a hamartomatous lesion of odontogenic origin involving both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Although it is not an uncommon lesion yet in certain conditions it can lead to complications if left untreated. This is a retrospective review of 30 diagnosed odontoma cases from the archives of Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Government Dental College & Hospital, Nagpur, Indi...

a case of a compound odontoma which caused delayed eruption of right maxillary central incisor in a ten year old girl is presented with clinical and radiographic findings. the patient presented with complaint of a hard painless swelling in the right anterior region of the maxilla and absence of right maxillary central incisor. after clinical examination, periapical and occlusal radiographs of t...

The authors present an interesting and unusual histology of compound odontoma from an 18-year-old female. Part of the subepithelial connective tissue beneath the enamel organ epithelium was replaced by a granular cell nodule, of a probable histiocytic nature. This case represents the first published report of odontoma accompanied by granular cells.
