RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Odontogenic tumours are infrequent lesions. Studies on the frequency of odontogenic tumours from Latin America are scarce. This work aimed to determine the relative frequency of odontogenic tumours in a Chilean population using the 2022 World Health Organization classification. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a case series retrospective study. We reviewed 35,530 samples from 1975 to 2022 from the Oral Pathology Referral Institute and the Pathological Anatomy Service, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Chile. We utilized the 2022 World Health Organization classification for histological typification. RESULTS: According to 2022 World Health Organization classification, 544 odontogenic tumours were confirmed. The most frequent odontogenic tumours were: odontoma (n=241; 44.3%), ameloblastoma (n=109; 20.0%) and cemento-ossifying fibroma (n=71; 13.1%). Benign odontogenic tumours corresponded to 538 cases (98.9%) and malignant tumours were only six cases (1.1%). CONCLUSIONS: In our population, odontoma was the most frequent odontogenic tumour followed by ameloblastoma and cemento-ossifying fibroma. Malignant odontogenic tumours were very rare. The results of this study are similar to reports from America, but there are some differences concerning the data from Africa and Asia.

This study aimed to identify the frequency of complications during the diagnosis, observation, and treatment of supernumerary teeth or odontomas and evaluate the relationship between complications and the timing of surgical intervention. This study was conducted based on data from the Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service between January 2008 and December 2019. A 2-year washout period was applied, and a follow-up period of at least 2 years was also included. During the observation period, the age at diagnosis of supernumerary teeth and odontomas was analyzed using major diagnostic codes, and the treatment codes were used to determine the interval between diagnosis and surgical intervention. The incidence rates of supernumerary teeth (1.21%) and odontomas (0.36%) were comparable to that reported in previous studies. The frequency of supernumerary teeth was the highest in the anterior region, followed by the premolar and molar regions. The average ages at diagnosis according to the location of the supernumerary teeth were 7.25, 13.98, and 16.11 years in the anterior, premolar, and molar regions, respectively. The age at diagnosis correlated with the maturity period of the teeth at the corresponding location. For the supernumerary tooth group, surgical intervention was more likely to occur when malocclusion (p < 0.0001) or tooth eruption disturbances (p < 0.0001) were present or dentigerous cysts were absent (p = 0.006). For the odontoma group, malocclusion (p = 0.251) was not correlated with surgical intervention. When tooth eruption disturbances (p = 0.002) and dentigerous cysts (p < 0.0001) were present, surgical intervention was more likely to occur. Pediatric dentists should conduct timely clinical checks and periodic follow-ups to prevent complications and unnecessary orthodontic treatments in patients with supernumerary teeth or odontomas.

INTRODUCTION: Odontoma is the most commonly diagnosed odontogenic tumor of the oral cavity. The objective of the present study was to assess the demographic variables, patterns, diagnostic features, and management issues of odontomas treated at several European departments of maxillofacial and oral surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted at 8 European departments of oral surgery between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2018. Only patients with odontomas were included. The following data were recorded for each patient: gender, age, comorbidities, site, size of odontomas, radiographic features, type of odontoma, treatment of odontomas, treatment of associated teeth, complications, and recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 127 patients (70 male and 57 female patients) with odontomas were included. The mean age was 22 years; 71 odontomas were found in the mandible, whereas 56 in the maxilla. In the mandible, the most frequently involved subsite was the parasymphysis, while in the maxilla, the most common subsite was the upper incisor region. The mean size of included odontomas was 15.3 mm. On the whole, 62 complex odontomas, 50 compound odontomas, and 15 mixed-type odontomas were observed. Complete excision of the odontomas was performed in 121 patients. In 24 patients, the extraction of deciduous teeth was performed, and in 43 patients, one or more permanent teeth were removed. Finally, in 9 patients, a partial excision of the odontoma was performed. Recurrence was observed in 4 cases out of 127 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Dental practitioners should be aware of the distinct clinical and radiographic features of odontoma in order to perform an appropriate and early diagnosis. Conventional radiography, such as panoramic radiograph, is often sufficient technique for a diagnosis after clinical suspicion or for an incidental diagnosis to prevent later complications, such as impaction or failure of eruption of teeth.

BACKGROUND: Hybrid odontogenic lesions combine histopathological characteristics of two or more odontogenic cysts and/or tumours. The aim of this study was to evaluate the available data on hybrid odontogenic lesions (HOL) and to analyse their epidemiological/clinical features and biological behaviour. METHODS: An electronic search was done in January 2021 using multiple databases. Eligibility criteria encompassed publications with sufficient clinical and histological information to confirm the tumours' diagnoses. RESULTS: A total of 147 articles were included in this study, comprising 203 cases. Calcifying odontogenic cyst associated with odontoma (COC/OD) (37/18.2%) was the most common HOL. Females were more affected with a mean age of 24.9 years. Lesions presented as asymptomatic swellings, with a mean evolution time of 8.2 months (0.3-96), and mean tumour size of 4.8 cm (0.3-7). Radiographic aspects frequently showed radiolucent (139/68.4%) and unilocular (52/25.6%) images with well-defined limits (48/23.6%). The lesions mostly affected mandibular pre-molars (69/34%) and mandibular molars (69/34%) regions. Enucleation (89/43.8%) and surgical excision (59/29%) were the most common treatment modalities. The mean follow-up time was 33.8 months (0.5-216 months) and recurrences were observed in four cases (1.9%), all of which were central odontogenic fibroma associated with central giant cell granuloma (COF/CGCG). CONCLUSION: COC/OD is the most common HOL and recurrence is a rare event, being usually associated with the diagnosis of COF/CGCG.

AIM: Odontomas are odontogenic tumours of the jaws; they are generally asymptomatic with an unknown aetiology. This study was conducted on non-syndromic children aged 9 to 14 years to explore the side effects deriving from the presence of these benign tumours, as retention, transmigration, ectopic eruption of permanent teeth and the permanence of primary teeth in the affected area. METHODS: Two hundred panoramic (OPT) and 92 Cone Beam Computed Tomography radiographs (CBCT) of patients (130 males and 70 females) were analysed from February 2018 to December 2019. Two hundred odontomas (145 compound and 55 complex type) and 800 teeth (160 primary and 640 permanent) were included. RESULTS: The prevalence of these tumours in both male and female subjects was 65% and 35%, respectively; the prevalence of compound odontomas in maxillary and mandibular bones was respectively 27.58% and 72.41%. The prevalence of complex odontomas in maxillary bones in female and male subjects was 37.5% and 62.5% respectively. It was observed the presence of a primary tooth in 81% of cases, the presence of retained teeth in 16.5% and a dental transmigration in the remaining 2.5% of cases in the compound type. Gender (p?=0.158) has no significant correlation. CONCLUSIONS: An early diagnosis and removal of odontomas in primary dentition is crucial in order to prevent later dental complications. Since the detection of odontomas is mainly an accidental radiological finding, the need for routine radiographic analysis should be highlighted.

OBJECTIVES: Odontogenic tumors (ODTs) are a heterogeneous group of lesions derived from elements of tooth-forming tissues. No detailed data on the incidence of odontogenic tumors in the United Kingdom have been published. The aim of this study was to retrospectively describe the range and incidence of odontogenic tumors from 1992 to 2016 in a single specialist unit and to compare this population with others. STUDY DESIGN: By using the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology database, Sheffield (UK), we included both local and referred consultation cases. A proportion of diagnoses were reclassified in accordance with the 2017 World Health Organization classification. RESULTS: In total, 559 odontogenic tumors were diagnosed. Overall, the most common lesions were ameloblastoma (196 [33.8%]), odontoma (148 [25.5%]), and odontogenic myxoma (37 [6.3%]), but this varied between local and referral case populations, with odontomas being most common in the local population (43%). The sites affected and the gender and age of patients were similar to other Western populations. Malignant ODTs comprised 33 cases (5.7%), of which 9 (27.3%) were ameloblastic carcinoma. The majority of the malignant ODTs comprised referral cases. CONCLUSIONS: Here, we present the first detailed data on ODTs within a UK population, and the pattern of incidence from the local population is similar to other Western populations. The exceptional rarity of malignant ODTs emphasizes the need for specialist centers for their treatment to gain diagnostic experience.

El odontoma compuesto es un tumor benigno odontogénico conformadopor varios dentículos o dientes rudimentarios los cuales se encuentran conformados de tejido dental organizado. Su etiología no está biendefi nida pero se atribuye a traumatismos durante la primera dentición, así como a procesos infl amatorios o infecciosos, anomalías hereditarias o alteraciones en el gen de control del desarrollo dentario. Su presencia se encuentra entre los tres tumores odontogénicos más frecuentes, en diferente orden según el autor que se consulte. Está relacionado por logeneral con una alteración en la erupción o malposición dental. Tiene predilección en hueso maxilar, frecuentemente asintomáticos, se caracterizan por un crecimiento lento, diagnosticándose de forma casualmediante exámenes radiográfi cos de rutina entre la segunda y terceradécada de la vida. En este estudio se presenta el caso de un pacientefemenino de 14 años de edad, con presencia de un odontoma compuestode 40 dentículos, en la región parasinfi siaria izquierda, tratado medianteenucleación, y colocación de injerto óseo.
The compound odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumor composed ofseveral denticles or rudimentary teeth made up of organized dentaltissue. Its etiology is not well defi ned but is attributed to trauma duringthe fi rst dentition, as well as to infl ammatory or infectious processes, inherited abnormalities, odontoblastic hyperactivity or alterations in the gene that controls tooth development. It is among the 3 mostcommon odontogenic tumors, though its ranking among these varies depending on the author consulted. It is usually associated with analteration in the eruption or malposition of teeth. It has a predilection for the maxillary bone, and is often slow-growing and asymptomatic. Odontomas are diagnosed incidentally during routine X-ray examinations of patients between the second and third decades of life. In this study, we present the case of a 14-year-old female patient with the presence of a compound odontoma comprised of 40 denticles inthe left parasymphyseal region, which is treated by enucleation andbone graft placement.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Odontogenic tumors (OTs) represent an uncommon group of lesions that arise from the tooth-forming apparatus. They pose a significant diagnostic and management challenge. There is a lack of data among the Saudi population. The aim of the study was to establish the relative frequency of the various histological types of OTs. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: A retrospective study of 188 cases of OTs using the histopathology archives of the College of Dentistry, King Saud University. METHODS: The histopathology archives of the College of Dentistry, King Saud University were reviewed from January 1984 to December 2010 for OTs. The age and gender of the patients, tumor site, and histopathologic typing were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 188 (4.3%) patients met the criteria for being classified as an OT. Odontogenic keratocystic tumor (36.7%) was the most commonly diagnosed, followed by ameloblastoma (25.0%), odontoma (14.9%), and odontogenic myxoma (6.4%). Two cases of malignant OTs (1.1%) are found. The male-to-female ratio was 1.4:1. The most frequently affected area was the posterior mandible (48.9%), followed by the anterior maxilla (22.9%). CONCLUSION: This is a relatively large series of OTs revealing aspects of similarities and differences with those of previous studies of populations in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The findings of the present study may be useful as a guide for clinicians who need to make clinical judgments prior to biopsy about the most probable diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the prevalence and distribution of teeth number and morphology abnormalities in Chinese pediatric patients' permanent teeth at the mixed dentition stage by performing panoramic radiographs analysis. METHODS: A total of 4 347 panoramic radiographs of pediatric patients aged 5 years to 15 years who were admitted to the hospitals from September 2011 to September 2013 were reviewed. The presence of teeth number and morphology abnormalities were recorded as follows: congenitally absent teeth, supernumerary teeth, odontoma, microdontia, fused teeth, dilaceations, and cusp deformity. SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The prevalence of teeth number and morphology abnormalities in pediatric patients' permanent teeth was 31.79% (1,382/4,347). The prevalence was higher in males. Significant difference between the genders was observed (P < 0.05). Tooth agenesis, the most frequent dental anomaly (15.00%, 652/4,347), was considerably common in females; supernumerary teeth (12.61%, 548/4,347) followed, which was significantly common in males. Both differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The levels of prevalence of both microdontia and dilacerations were 4.00% (174/4,347) and 2.16% (94/4,347). The prevalence of cusp deformity, odontoma, and fused teeth were relatively low at 0.74% (32/4,347), 0.51% (22/4,347), and 0.39% (17/4,347), respectively. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of teeth number and morphology abnormalities in children's permanent teeth at the mixed dentition stage is apparently high. Tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth are the most frequent. Panoramic radiograph is an efficient method for the early diagnosis of teeth number and morphology abnormalities. This method can assist pediatric dentists to formulate treatment plans for children at the appropriate time.

OBJECTIVE: Panoramic radiographs (PRs) play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of a wide range of dental and maxillofacial diseases and conditions. To examine and to determine the status of oral lesions, dental anomalies and pathologies in panoramic radiographs, which were taken at the department of pediatric dentistry, Dental School, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study consists of 1,056 randomly selected PRs of children aged from 4 to 12 years old, conducted at the department of pediatric dentistry at Dental School, Marmara University, between 5 th December 2011 and 17 th January 2012. The following information was obtained from the patients' records and PRs: Gender, age, presence or absence of oral lesions, dental anomalies and pathologies such as mesiodentes, supernumerary teeth, odontoma, radicular cyst, impacted tooth, and fusion. RESULTS: One thousand and fifty-six PRs from 520 girls and 536 boys were observed. The mean and standard deviation age of the patients was 8.43 ± 2.17. Among 1,056 patients, 457 (43.28%) of them had oral lesions, discovered by the PRs. The age of these 457 patients was ranged from 4 to 12 years. There were 37 (3.50%) mesiodentes, 9 (0.85%) supernumerary teeth, 4 (0.38%) odontoma, 12 (1.14%) radicular cyst, 16 (1.52%) impacted tooth, and 20 (1.89%) fusion. CONCLUSIONS: Oral lesions with a rate of 43.28% could be detected relatively at early age, as presented in the present study. Early treatment of these lesions, dental anomalies, and pathologies could avoid maxillofacial deformity and other complications.

AIM: Understanding the effects of primary double tooth (PDT) on permanent successors is important to ensure healthy permanent occlusion and aesthetics. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and type of PDT, their effect on permanent successors, and the accompanying dental anomalies/pathologies in a Turkish population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Study design: The records of 63 PDTs in 54 healthy Caucasian children among 10,000 patients were investigated. PDTs were classified according to Aguilo's classification. RESULTS: The prevalence of PDT was 0.6%. Of the 63 PDTs, 14.3% were type I, 11.1% were type II, 31.7% were type III, and 41.3% were type IV; one (1.6%) was a triple tooth. Aplasia of the permanent lateral incisor was observed most frequently in association with type I (56%) PDT. All PDTs associated with a supernumerary permanent tooth were type IV. Dental anomalies/pathologies such as odontoma, talon cusp were observed. Caries involvement was observed most frequently in type IV (58.3%) PDT. STATISTICS: The chi-squared test was used to determine whether successor aplasia depended on PDT type, and contingency coefficients (%) were calculated to determine the degree of association between aplasia and PDT type. CONCLUSION: Clinicians should assess PDT clinically and radiographically to determine whether they are associated with aplasia of permanent lateral incisors (type I) or supernumerary permanent teeth (type IV). Type IV of PDT should be sealed with sealant or resin.

We examined the occurrence of odontoma in the marine fish Sphyraena jello sourced from 3 different landing centers (Cuddalore, Parangipettai and Nagapattinam) in Tamil Nadu (southeast India). A total of 19783 fishes were examined for odontoma presence, of which 2393 were affected with odontoma. The overall prevalence was 12.1% among the 3 stations. Fish landed at Parangipettai showed the highest peak prevalence of odontoma (16.8%) during the pre-monsoon, followed by Nagapatinam (9.1%) during summer 2011. The tumour lengths in premaxilla, supermaxilla and dentary bone were 1.1-3.6, 1.4-5.9 and 1.2-4.1 cm, respectively, and tumour widths were 0.3-1.9, 0.7-3.1 and 0.5-1.9 cm. Higher prevalence (0.206%) of tongue tumour along with odontoma was observed at Nagapattinam whereas it was lower (0.162%) at Cuddalore. Odontoma histopathology showed dense fibrous tissue with fine teeth roots. TEM analysis showed virus-like particles associated with odontoma. Radiography of the odontoma showed that the tumour masses were bony in nature and tissues were merged with upper and lower jaw.

PURPOSE: This study aims to analyze the frequency and distribution of odontogenic tumors in a Greek population and compare the findings with those reported in the recent literature. METHODS: Records of the Department of Oral Medicine and Pathology, Dental School, University of Athens, with histologic diagnosis of odontogenic tumors (based on the World Health Organization 2005 classification) were reviewed retrospectively from January 1970 to December 2011. RESULTS: A total of 652 cases of odontogenic tumors were reported. Of these, 651 (99.8%) were benign and only 1 (0.2%) was malignant. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor was the most frequent lesion (52.7%), followed by odontoma (18.9%) and ameloblastoma (16.1%). The mean age of patients was 38.0 years with a wide range (2.5-92 years). CONCLUSIONS: Odontogenic tumors are rare lesions and appear to show a definite geographic variation. In Athens, Greece, they are presented mainly by the keratocystic odontogenic tumor, odontoma, and ameloblastoma.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to review cases of odontogenic tumors diagnosed in two pathology centers in Tehran, Iran, during a 10-year period. STUDY DESIGN: Patients' records were seen at two teaching pathology Centre's of Shahid Beheshti University between the months of March 2000 to 2010 with histologic diagnosis of any type of odontogenic tumors. The records were analyzed for frequency, age, sex, site, as well as clinical, radiographic and histopathologic findings. RESULTS: Of 30706 biopsies, 4767 (15.5%) cases were diagnosed as oral and maxillofacial lesions. Among these, 720 cases were tumoral with 188 (26.1%) cases of odontogenic tumors. Tumors with odontogenic epithelium origin formed 70.2% of total numbers of odontogenic tumors. Mixed odontogenic tumors and tumors of odontogenic ectomesenchyme comprised 12.2% and 17.5% of the cases respectively. Ameloblastoma, with a frequency of 62.2% was the most common tumor in this review which was followed by odontoma and odontogenic myxoma. CONCLUSION: Although there are few studies on odontogenic tumors in literature, the comparison of our results with existing data shows significant differences in the distribution of tumors and age of patients, which may be due to ethnic features and geographic distribution of patients. Future studies on other ethnic groups are essential for further clarification of the findings in this research.

INTRODUCTION: Odontogenic tumours are often benign. They are originating from dento-maxillary structures and their embryonic remnants. They represent a wide variety of lesions derived from epithelial cells, mesenchymal, or both. The series reported in literature show a distinct geographic variation. However, there has been no concrete study and detailed epidemiological profile of these tumours in the Algerian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our prospective study based on the classification of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005, focused on the epidemiological analysis of 97 cases of odontogenic tumours, collected in the department of maxillofacial surgery of the University Hospital of Constantine. This study was designed to determine the relative frequency of such tumours, their distribution by age and sex, and their histological distribution. RESULT: In our series, women were most affected by the disease (64% of cases) than men (36% of cases). The population was predominantly young with an average age of 29.9 years (range from 12 to 85). The mandible was the site of choice in 74% of cases. Epithelial tumours were diagnosed in 77% of cases; almost half of these cases were ameloblastomas (44% of cases). DISCUSSION: The distribution of odontogenic tumours is different depending on the population studied. The incidence of ameloblastoma is increased in African and Asian population with a female predominance. On the other hand, the odontoma is the most recognized odontogenic tumour in North America and Europe, and more particularly in men.

OBJECTIVES: Investigate the epidemiological profile for odontogenic and non-odontogenic intra-osseous lesions in the Queensland population (4.56 million) over 12 months. STUDY DESIGN: The following data were prospectively collected from all Queensland histopathology laboratories in 2011: gender, age at diagnosis, location of lesion, histopathological diagnosis of the lesion and the patient's postcode. RESULTS: Six-hundred and thirty-three lesions were collected, comprising 540 odontogenic cysts and 93 odontogenic tumors. Radicular cyst was the most frequently diagnosed lesion (247/540, 45.7%). The overall incidence of odontogenic tumors was 20.4/million. Keratocystic odontogenic tumor was the highest (15.1/million), followed by ameloblastoma (2.41/million) with odontoma and calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor having the same incidence (1.1/million). The 39 non-odontogenic intra-osseous lesions had an overall incidence of 8.55/million. Nasopalatine cysts had an incidence of 2.19/million, followed by fibrous dysplasia and central giant cell granuloma (1.97/million). CONCLUSIONS: Odontogenic tumors are 5 times less common than cysts. Non-odontogenic lesions are rare, with benign lesions 6.8 times more common than malignant lesions.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is an uncommon benign tumor of the jaws that belongs to the group of mixed odontogenic tumors. The descriptions of its clinical and radiological features in the literature are not always accurate and sometimes even contradictory. The aim of the present study was to critically evaluate their clinical and radiological features as reported in the English-language literature. A total of 114 well-documented cases of ameloblastic fibro-odontomas (103 from publications and 11 of our own new cases) were analyzed. The patients' age ranged from 8 months to 26 years (mean 9.6). There were 74 (65 %) males, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.85:1 (P = 0.001). The mandible was involved in 74 (65 %) cases, and the mandible-to-maxilla ratio was 1.85:1 (P < 0.001). Nearly 80 % of the lesions were located in the posterior region of the jaws, and most (58 %) were in the posterior mandible. Radiographically, most of the lesions were unilocular and only a few (~10 %) were multilocular. Most lesions were mixed radiolucent-radiopaque, and only a few (~5 %) were radiolucent. Almost all lesions (~92 %) were associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth/teeth. This comprehensive analysis of a large number of patients with an uncommon lesion revealed that ameloblastic fibro-odontomas are significantly more common in males and in the mandible, and that multilocular lesions are uncommon. It also revealed that, based on their clinical and radiological features, some of them are probably true neoplasms while others appear to be developing odontomas (hamartomas).

Odontogenic tumors (OTs) constitute a heterogeneous group of lesions with diverse histopathological features and clinical manifestations. The present study is to determine the frequency of odontogenic tumors (OTs) in Sri Lankan population. A total of 1677 cases of OTs were retrieved and analyzed for age, gender and primary site of the tumors. Cases were re-classified according to the 2005 WHO classification of OTs. The relative frequency of different types of tumors was also analyzed and compared with the literature. OTs represent 3.75% of all cases received during a period of 30 years. Ninety-eight percent of these tumors were benign and the rest malignant. Mandible to maxilla ratio is 2.8:1. The posterior part, the molar region, is the most frequently affected site for the mandible whilst it is the anterior region for the maxilla. The age ranges from 1 to 80 years, with a mean age of 30.6 years. Ameloblastoma of solid/multicystic and unicystic types showed a high preponderance for the mandible (>90%) with a ratio of 12.9:1 and 10.8:1, respectively. Out of 1677 cases, 48.7% were ameloblastoma, and other tumors, such as keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) and odontoma, were 25.7% and 10.1%, respectively. There is a significant change in the frequency of OTs after the inclusion of odontogenic keratocyst as a tumor. Although odontoma is said to be the commonest in western countries, our results showed ameloblastoma as the commonest followed by KCOT, and the relative frequencies of different tumors have changed significantly as a result of inclusion of KCOT in the new classification.

This study describes the oral and maxillofacial pathological characteristics of a series of odontogenic tumours in children and adolescents from three Brazilian reference centres. The records were reviewed for all odontogenic tumours in patients up to 18 years old based on criteria proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005. Data concerning sex, age, skin colour and tumour location were collected and plotted. Four hundred and thirty one odontogenic tumours in children and adolescents were found, accounting for 37.5% of the total number of odontogenic tumours diagnosed. Benign tumours were predominant (99.8% of the cases), and odontoma was the most frequent type (41.4%), followed by keratocystic odontogenic tumours (25.5%) and ameloblastoma (14.6%). Odontogenic tumours were rarely detected in early childhood, and their prevalence increased with age. An almost equal distribution was observed with respect to sex and the site of the lesions. This study is the largest reported retrospective analysis describing odontogenic tumours in children and adolescents to date. The authors detected some variation in the relative frequency of odontogenic tumours compared with similar reports. Additional studies should be conducted based on the new WHO classification and predetermined age parameters to enable comparative analysis among different worldwide populations.
