Abstract:
Primordial odontogenic tumor (POT) is a rare benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal odontogenic tumor that has been included as a new nosological form in the latest classification of the World Health Organization (WHO 2017). The first two clinical cases of POT treatment in children in Russia are presented. A comprehensive examination and surgical treatment of POT were carried out. The diagnosis was confirmed morphologically.
Objective:
To inform maxillofacial surgeons and dentists about the clinical, radiological and morphological features of POT on the example of clinical experience and literature data.

Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
