    Ameloblastic Fibroma (AF)

    A benign odontogenic tumor with epithelial and ectomesenchymal origin, lacking dental hard tissue.

    Clinical Features of AF

    Common in the 2nd decade, presents as painless swelling, can affect eruption of teeth.

    Radiographic Features of AF

    Typically multilocular, well-defined and radiolucent with internal radiopaque septa.

    Histopathologic Features of AF

    Branching strands of odontogenic epithelium in ectomesenchymal stroma without dental hard tissue.

    Study Notes

    Ameloblastic Fibroma (AF)

    • Benign odontogenic tumor; lacks hard dental tissue.
    • Primarily affects individuals in their 20s.
    • Characterized by pain-free, slow-growing swelling, often near missing teeth.
    • Common locations: posterior mandible and maxilla.
    • Radiographically: multilocular, smooth borders, radiolucent with internal septa, expands the jaw.

    Ameloblastic Fibrodentinoma (AFD) & Ameloblastic Fibro-odontome (AFO)

    • Previously separate, now classified as developing odontomes.
    • AFD: Contains dentin.
    • AFO: Includes enamel and dentin.
    • Often predominantly soft tissue.

    Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT)

    • Benign, slow-growing tumor resembling a glandular adenoma.
    • Typically arises in the anterior maxilla, often affecting unerupted canines, during the 20s.
    • Non-infiltrative, causing painless cortical expansion.
    • Radiographically: initially radiolucent, developing calcifications; unilocular.

    Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst/Tumor (COC)

    • Exists in cystic and solid forms.
    • Affects individuals of various ages.
    • Commonly observed in the maxilla or mandible, often related to unerupted teeth.
    • Typically small (~4 cm).
    • Characterized by developing internal calcifications (radiopaque areas).
    • Radiographically, initially radiolucent, then showing internal calcifications.
    • Notable feature: presence of "ghost cells" (flattened epithelial cells).

    Odontome (Odontoma)

    • Common benign malformation of teeth, the most differentiated odontogenic tumor.
    • Shows perfect histodifferentiation (distinct tissue layers), with variable morphodifferentiation (shape/form).
    • Forms tooth-like structures or disorganised dental tissues; well-mineralised.
    • Can cause jaw expansion if large.
    • Easily treatable in early stages with surgical procedures.

    Odontoma Types

    • Complex Odontome: disorganised mass of enamel, dentin, and pulp, radiolucent early and becoming radiopaque.
    • Compound Odontome: cluster of small tooth-like structures; contains pulp, odontoblasts, dentin, and enamel.

    Developing Odontomes

    • Previously called ameloblastic fibrodentinoma or fibro-odontoma.
    • Characterized by incomplete maturation/mineralisation.
