are odontomas dangerous?



Answers:
An odontoma is often referred to as a tumor.
There are two types of odontomas: complex and compound. Compound odontomas are composed of small malformed tooth-like structures. Complex odontomas do not have any recognizable tooth shape. Both forms of odontomas are encapsulated and have a limited growth potential. They should be enucleated and recurrence is not usually a problem. However complex odontomas are occasionally associated with another odontogenic tumor called ameloblastic fibroma. This combined lesion has potential for local destruction.
