|---|
The odontoma is a tumor of odontogenic origin.[1]
The average age of people found with odontoma is 14,[2] and the condition is frequently associated with an unerupted tooth.
22% of odontogenic tumors are odontomas.[3]
Classification
There are three types. Simple, compound, and complex.
- The simple can also be classified as a supernumerary tooth, having all the structures, and usually sharing some morphology with teeth in general - separate dentin, enamel, and pulpal structures.
- A compound odontoma still has these three separate entities, however may present a lobulated appearance where there is no definitive demarcation of separate tissues between the individual "toothlets".
- The complex type is unrecognizable as dental tissues, usually presenting as a radioopaque area with varying densities.
