A total of 351 odontomas were retrieved and analyzed from 53,824 submitted specimens. The majority (53.6%) were diagnosed in the second decade of life; the most common location was the anterior portion of the maxilla (33.9%), but there was no overall predilection for the maxilla. An associated unerupted tooth was present in at least 47.6% of the cases. Dentigerous cysts were diagnosed in conjunction with 27.6% of the odontomas, and a calcifying and keratinizing odontogenic cyst was seen in 0.9% of the cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
