The provided reference describes several types of odontogenic tumors. It doesn't give the name, but rather provides examples of different odontogenic tumors.
To be clear, an odontogenic tumor is a tumor that arises from tissues involved in tooth development. There are many different types, and they can be broadly categorized. The reference provided gives examples of both inductive and non-inductive types.
Examples of Odontogenic Tumors
Here are some examples from the reference, categorized:
Inductive Odontogenic Tumors
These tumors induce the formation of dental hard tissues.
- Ameloblastic fibroma
- Dentinoma
- Odontomas (ameloblastic, complex, and compound)
Non-Inductive Odontogenic Tumors
These tumors do not induce the formation of dental hard tissues.
- Ameloblastomas
- Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors
Understanding the Terminology
- Ameloblastoma: A benign but locally aggressive tumor.
- Odontoma: Considered more of a hamartoma (a disorganized mass of normal tissue) than a true neoplasm.
- Complex Odontoma: A disorganized mass of dental tissues.
- Compound Odontoma: Consists of multiple, small tooth-like structures.
- Ameloblastic Fibroma: A benign mixed odontogenic tumor.
- Dentinoma: A rare benign odontogenic tumor that produces dentin.
- Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor (CEOT): Also known as a Pindborg tumor.
In conclusion, there isn't one name for an odontogenic tumor. The term describes a whole group of different tumors arising from tooth-forming tissues.
