|November 1, 1977
Abstract:
The calcifications associated with the epithelium of the calcifying odontogenic cyst and odontoma were studied ultrastructurally and found to be of three types: (1) spherical calcifications which form on ghost cells and which therefore are dystrophic, (2) spherical calcifications which appear to be dysplastic enamel, and (3) irregularly shaped, diffuse calcifications which form on a collagenous matrix and appear to by dysplastic dentin or cementum.
