Q

waht are the 3 categories of odonotgenic tumors?

[hint: origin of the tumor]

A
  1. tumors of odontogenic epithelium - only odon epithelium
  2. mixed odontogenic tumors:
    - odon epithelium AND ectomesenchyme
  • may have dental hard tissues
    3. tumors of odontogenic ectomesenchyme:

40
Q

radiographically IMPOSSIBLE to differentiate adenomatoid odontogenic tumor and dentigerous cyst BUT can by?

A

completely radioleucent lesion with **fine “snowflake calcifications” **so that is adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
