    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Odontogenic tumors
    • Dentistry

    Background:

    • Odontomas are benign, uncommon tumors originating from odontogenic epithelium.
    • Understanding their demographics and clinical presentation is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze a large series of odontoma cases.
    • To determine the epidemiological characteristics and common clinical features of odontomas.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 149 odontoma cases was conducted.
    • Cases were sourced from existing literature (65 cases) and institutional pathology records (84 cases).
    • Data on age, sex, location, type, and presenting symptoms were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Odontomas are most frequently diagnosed in the second decade of life.
    • The maxilla is the most common site (65%), with compound types in the anterior and complex types in the posterior regions.
    • A slight male predominance was observed.
    • The most common presenting symptom was an impacted tooth with retained deciduous teeth.

    Conclusions:

    • Odontomas exhibit distinct demographic and topographic patterns.
    • Clinical presentation, particularly impacted or retained teeth, aids in early diagnosis.
    • Further research can refine understanding and treatment strategies for odontomas.
