An odontogenic tumor is a neoplasm of the cells or tissues that initiate
odontogenic processes.
Examples include:
*
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is an odontogenic tumor arising from the enamel organ or dental lamina.
Signs and symptoms
Two thirds of cases are located in the anterior maxilla, and one third are present in the anterior mandible.
Two thirds o ...

Ameloblastoma
Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign or cancerous tumor of odontogenic epithelium ( ameloblasts, or outside portion, of the teeth during development) much more commonly appearing in the lower jaw than the upper jaw. It was recognized in 1827 by Cusa ...
, a type of odontogenic tumor involving
ameloblasts
Ameloblasts are cells present only during tooth development that deposit tooth enamel, which is the hard outermost layer of the tooth forming the surface of the crown.
Structure
Each ameloblast is a columnar cell approximately 4 micrometers in ...

Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor
The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), also known as a Pindborg tumor, is an odontogenic tumor first recognized by the Danish pathologist Jens Jørgen Pindborg in 1955. It was previously described as an ''adenoid adamantoblastoma'', ...

Cementoblastoma
Cementoblastoma, or benign cementoblastoma, is a relatively rare benign neoplasm of the cementum of the teeth. It is derived from ectomesenchyme of odontogenic origin, with the formation of cementum-like tissue around the associated tooth root. ...

Cementoma
Cementoma is an odontogenic tumor of cementum. It is usually observed as a benign spherical mass of hard tissue fused to the root of a tooth. It is found most commonly in the mandible in the region of the lower molar teeth, occurring between th ...

Odontogenic keratocyst
An odontogenic keratocyst is a rare and benign but locally aggressive developmental cyst. It most often affects the posterior human mandible, mandible and most commonly presents in the third decade of life. Odontogenic keratocysts make up around 1 ...

Odontogenic myxoma

Odontoma
An odontoma, also known as an odontome, is a benign tumour linked to tooth development. Specifically, it is a dental hamartoma, meaning that it is composed of normal dental tissue that has grown in an irregular way. It includes both odontogenic ...
