Types of odontoma, diagnosis, and therapy

Abstract

This thesis explores odontomas, one of the most common odontogenic tumors, focusing on their types, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic management. A key focus is on diagnosis, which involves anamnesis, extraoral and intraoral examinations, radiographic and histological assessments, and differential diagnosis to distinguish odontomas from odontogenic tumors, idiopathic lesions, developmental disorders, bone tumors, and infections. The prognosis of odontomas is explored, emphasizing their typically benign nature and favorable outcomes when managed appropriately. The treatment section outlines therapeutic approaches, including surgical removal and post-operative monitoring to prevent recurrence or complications. The other parts of the thesis is going to more details about etiology, epidemiology, classification, and pathology of odontomas.
