Start developing at 20 weeks gestation. Cysts and tumors in the mandible: a retrospective clinical trial. Cystic 6, intraosseous tumors of odontogenic origin, with a characteristic lining.July 19: Odontogenic Cysts, Tumors, and Related Jaw Lesions. Odontogenic cysts are defined as epithelial-lined structures derived from odontogenic.Overall, odontogenic tumors are rare and form only a small pro...

Introduction: Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is a rare malignant lesion arising within the jawbones, without initial connection with the oral mucosa. This malignant lesion develops from odontogenic epithelium or odontogenic cysts or tumors. Case Report: In this case report, an intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma arising from an odontogenic cyst in a 60-year-old male pati...

The central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour of jaw bone derived from the ectomesenchyme. It characterized by fibrous mature stroma with variable number strands or islands inactive-looking epithelium. presented case 46 years old male complaining asymptomatic mandibular bony swelling. Radiographically, lesion unilocular radiolucent, root resorption and displacement t...

Teeth were lost in birds 70-80 million years ago. Current thinking holds that it is the avian cranial neural crest-derived mesenchyme that has lost odontogenic capacity, whereas the oral epithelium retains the signaling properties required to induce odontogenesis. To investigate the odontogenic capacity of ectomesenchyme, we have used neural tube transplantations from mice to chick embryos to r...

AIM To evaluate the proliferative potential and the cell proliferation rate of odontogenic epithelial cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two cases of pericoronal follicles of impacted third molars were submitted to silver impregnation technique for quantification of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) and immunohistochemical staining for EGFR and Ki-67. For AgNOR quantification, ...

Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma is a rare benign mixed odontogenic neoplasm usually occurring in the first two decades of life. It is more common in males and the most common site of occurrence is in the mandibular premolar molar area. This report presents a case of ameloblastic fibrodentinoma in a 12-year-old boy in the maxillary anterior region, a less common site for the occurrence of ameloblast...

BACKGROUND: Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a locally aggressive neoplasm whose clinicopathological characteristics have not been extensively reported in Nigerians. OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinicopathological characteristics of cases of OM seen at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. METHODS: A review of both clinical and histopathological records of sixty-three cases of OM diagnose...

Odontogenic fibroma (OF) is considered an unusual, benign mesenchymal neoplasm and one of the most little-understood lesions amongst all odontogenic neoplasms. The incidence rate of the tumor is from 0% to 5.5%. WHO classified them into intraosseous or central and extraosseous or peripheral variants. It chiefly consists of fibroblastic tissue with an inconsistent amount of inactive appearing od...

Mammalian tooth development relies heavily on the reciprocal and sequential interactions between cranial neural crest-derived mesenchymal cells and stomadial epithelium. During mouse tooth development, odontogenic potential, that is, the capability to direct an adjacent tissue to form a tooth, resides in dental epithelium initially, and shifts subsequently to dental mesenchyme. Recent studies h...
