| Popis: | A 14-year retrospective study was performed on 47 odontomas from the files of the 1st Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Nihon University School of Dentistry. Fifty-seven percent of the patients were male and 42.6% were female. The age distribution was 8 to 48 years with a mean age of 22 +/- 9.0 years. There were no particular symptoms associated with the odontomas, and 63.8% of our patients had no symptoms. However, 12 patients complained of swelling and 9 of pain. The tumor was found in the maxilla in 42.6% and in the mandible in 57.4%. According to the WHO histological type classification, 53.2% of the tumors were classified as compound odontoma and 46.8% as complex odontoma. The size of the tumor ranged from 5 mm to 42 mm in diameter. The average complex odontoma was much bigger than the average compound odontoma. Ghost cells were found 11 cases in our series. In addition, odontogenic epithelium was found in 16 cases. Twenty seven patients had impacted teeth in association with odontoma and 24 of the 27 teeth were removed at the time of surgical enucleation of the tumor, while 3 cases were treated by orthodontically assisted eruption. There was no recurrence in any of the studied cases. |
