Study Notes
Ameloblastic Fibro-Odontoma
- Occurs in young patients (first and second decades).
- Locations: Compound odontomas are typically anterior, while complex odontomas are in the posterior mandible, commonly involving mandibular molars.
- Presentation: Slow-growing, painless swelling; often associated with unerupted teeth; asymptomatic swelling may be the only clinical sign.
- Diagnostic Imaging (X-ray): Large, unilocular, well-defined lesion with mixed radiolucent (dark) and radiopaque (light) areas; lesions usually contain multiple radiopaque structures.
- Histological Features: Strands and cords of epithelium resembling dental lamina, surrounded by odontogenic connective tissue composed of randomly oriented fibroblasts; contains both mature and immature forms. Compound odontomas display an ordered arrangement of enamel, dentin, and pulp tissues within tooth-like structures; Complex odontomas are a mass of these materials, lacking recognizable tooth shapes.
- Encapsulated (surrounded by a well-defined capsule).
- Soft tissue components similar to ameloblastic fibroma.
- Hard tissue components similar to complex odontoma; Odontoma is a mixed odontogenic neoplasm containing enamel, dentin, pulp, and cementum, which may take compound (recognizable tooth shapes) or complex (irregular pattern) forms. They are not considered true neoplasms but may be considered a malformation.
