ABSTRACT Developmental disorders of human dentition may result in various abnormalities according to etiologic agents and the developmental period involved. The size, shape number teeth be affected. Dental can occur singly or multiples an individual not associated with syndromes. Complementary radiographic examinations are valuable for diagnosis, especially lesions that asymptomatic detected on...

Central ossifying fibroma is a rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion that arises from the periodontal ligament. Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia is another variant of fibro-osseous lesion which occurs in the anterior region of the mandible of females. Odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that contains enamel, dentine cement and pulp tissue. A 46-year-old woman was referred to the Department o...

CASE REPORT A 9-year-old girl was seen in the Department of Orthodontics of the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata'. Radiographic images showed intraosseous impaction of the maxillary right central ...

Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) previously known as calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a relatively rare lesion. It was first reported as a separate pathologic entity by Gorlin et al in 1962 as a likely analog of the cutaneous calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe or pilomatricoma. Because of the diverse clinicohistologic features and the various neoplastic potential, there have been ...

SUMMARY Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors and calcifying odontogenic cysts are rare, benign odontogenic tumors. We report two cases of an exceptional combination of these tumors with either an ameloblastic fibroodontoma or an odontoma.

Odontoma is the most frequent odontogenic gnathic tumor, which is considered to be a hamartomatous lesion rather than an actual odontogenic tumor. Odontoma is basically composed of enamel and dentin, while it could also have various contents of cementum and pulp tissue. These lesions may manifest in two specific forms, including the compound type with multiple, small, tooth-like structures and ...

Odontomas represent the most common type of odontogenic benign jaws tumors among patients younger than 20 years of age. These tumors are composed of enamel, dentine, cementum, and pulp tissue. According to the World Health Organization classification, two distinct types of odontomas are acknowledged: complex and compound odontoma. In complex odontomas, all dental tissues are formed, but appeare...
