Summary

Odontogenic tumors arise from tooth-forming tissues, with this review focusing on four benign epithelial types: ameloblastoma, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, and squamous odontogenic tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Odontogenesis
  • Neoplasms

Background:

  • Tooth development involves ectoderm and ectomesenchymal tissues.
  • Remnants of odontogenic tissues can lead to tumor formation in the jaws.
  • Tumors can arise from epithelial, mesenchymal, or mixed tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss four benign odontogenic neoplasms of epithelial origin.
  • To present an agreed-on classification scheme for these tumors.
  • To detail clinicopathological subtypes, including diagnostic histopathology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on odontogenic neoplasms.
  • Discussion of classification, clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features.
  • Inclusion of therapeutic and follow-up recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Detailed discussion of ameloblastoma, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (Pindborg tumor), adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, and squamous odontogenic tumor.
  • Presentation of diagnostic histopathology and histologic variants.
  • Overview of generally accepted treatment and follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Benign odontogenic neoplasms of epithelial origin require careful classification and diagnosis.
  • Understanding clinicopathological features is crucial for effective management.
  • Adherence to established therapeutic guidelines and follow-up is recommended.
