Abstract :
Odontomas are categorized by the World
Health Organization (WHO) as odontogenic tumors since
they are made up of ectomesenchyme and odontogenic
epithelium. They are not true tumors because they are the
result of developmental defects. They are local
deformities without independent growth. Rarely do they
exhibit symptoms and are frequently identified by chance
when carrying out a radiographic evaluation. Odontomas
can be either complex or compound. Without regard to
gender, odontoma is typically diagnosed in young
children and adolescents. According to reports, it is the
most prevalent odontogenic neoplasm and tumor-like
lesion. Patients frequently mention a history of trauma
and infection, despite the fact that the cause of the
odontoma is still unknown. Odontomas are typically
asymptomatic and characterized by a sluggish rate of
growth, rarely growing larger than a tooth.
