88. ADENOMATOID ODONTOGENIC TUMOR
(AOT),ADENOAMELOBLASTOMA
• This is a tumor mostly of teenagers.
• It occurs in the middle and anterior portions
of the jaws in contrast to ameloblastoma
which is found mostly in the posterior
segment
• Two-thirds occur in the maxilla. Anterior
• more common in females.
• This tumor is encapsulated.
• It is treated by curettage with a recurrence
rate approaching zero
• The radiographic appearance is a unilocular
radiolucency,
• often around the crown of an unerupted
tooth in which case they resemble a
dentigeous cyst www.indiandentalacademy.com
89. Adenomatoid
odontogenic tumor
(AOT)
associated with an
unerupted tooth #13. It
resembles a
dentigerous
cyst. Some AOTs
produce
calcifications that
may appear as
“snowflake”
densities.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
90. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor
Histologic examination reveals a thick
capsule of fibrous connective tissue.
The tumor fills the central
cavity, there is little stroma.
Tumor cells frequently
form ball-like structures referred to as
“rosettes”
www.indiandentalacademy.com
91. Adenomatoid
odontogenic
tumor
Note how the
tumor cells
form balls of
cells that are
called
rosettes.
Another identifying feature is the presence of ductlike
structures
www.indiandentalacademy.com
92. Calcifying epithelial odontogenic
tumor (CEOT,Pindborg tumor)
Rare. First desribed by JJ Pindborg in 1958.
This is the most “unodontogenic”
tumor of the group, the tumor cells do not resemble
odontogenic tissue.
Pathogenesis:
1.From reduced enamel epithelium - Pindborg 1958
2. From the stratum intermedium of the enamel organ- Gon 1965
www.indiandentalacademy.com
93. • Clinical features:
• 1. Associated with unerupted or
impacted or embedded tooth.
• 2. Painless mass and slow growth.
• 3. Mandible > maxilla, Men > women,
Seen in range of 8-82 years
• 4. More often in molar region.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
94. Pathological features:
- Polyhedral epithelial cells seen
-Amyloid, basal lamina, dentin and keratin
appear as a homogenous substance
(Characteristic feature of CEOT)
-Calcification are seen. It calcifies in a
concentrically lamellated“tree-ring”
pattern known as Liesegang
calcifications.This explains the name of
calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
95. CEOT, high
power view. The tumor
cells resemble squamous
epithelium more than
odontogenic epithelium.
There is some variation
in nuclear size and
shape, but this is not a
malignant tumor.
Calcifications
(extreme left) in a CEOT
account for the density
noted on radiographs.
These are thought to be
calcified amyloid or
amyloid-like material,
some of which can be
seen right of center as a
pale eosinophilic globule

(arrow).
96. Radiological features:
• Chaudary (1972) -three stages of
development of CEOT
• I stage: Radiolucent appearance same
like dentigerous cyst
• II stage: Minute calcifications appear.
• III stage: Honey combed appearance
Calcifying epithelial
odontogenic tumor in
the body of the
mandible. It appears as
a radiolucent lesion with
www.indiandentalacademy.com dense areas.
smokey
97. Treatment
CEOT lacks a capsule but apparently does not infiltrate
as deeply into surrounding tissues as does
ameloblastoma. Excision with a small margin of
surrounding bone is usually curative.
Intraosseous lesions: Marginal or segmental resection
Extraosseous lesion : Simple local excision
www.indiandentalacademy.com
98. AMELOBLASTIC FIBROMA
• This is a tumor of childhood, the typical
patient is about 12 –14 years old, seldom is it
seen beyond age 20.
• The posterior segment of the mandible is the
most common location.
• Local swelling or failure of teeth to erupt on
time or improper alignment may call attention
to the tumor.
• Ameloblastic fibromas are
purely radiolucent.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
99. Ameloblastic
fibroma in and around
the crowns of lower
molar teeth. It is subtle,
the second deciduous
molar tooth has been tilted
downward by the
tumor. Patient was a 5
year old boy.
Small lesions may be unilocular but larger
lesions are ordinarily multilocular.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
100. • Both odontogenic epithelium and
odontogenic ectomesenchyme
contribute to this tumor
• (an odontogenic mixed tumor not to be
confused with the mixed tumor of
salivary gland).
• The epithelium grows in small islands
Ameloblastic
and cords
fibroma, medium power.
Islands of odontogenic
epithelium exhibit
peripheral columnar cells.
The stroma is cellular
ectomesenchyme that
resembles the dental
papilla, the forerunner of
www.indiandentalacademy.com
the dental pulp.
102. ODONTOMA:
COMPOUND AND COMPLEX
TYPES
• Defined as benign tumors of the dental hard
tissues with the word composite used to
designate the presence of the four dental
tissues – enamel,dentin,cementum,pulp.
• The tumors in which odontogenic
differentiation is fully expressed are the
odontomas
• In these tumors, the epithelium and
ectomesenchyme realize their potential and
make enamel and dentin respectively.
• As a result,these tumors are mostly
radiodense.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
103. Compound composite odontoma
• Odontomas with calcified structures
bearing some degree of resemblance
anatomically to normal teeth.
• Occurs in second or third decade of life.
• Slow growing, non infiltrating malformation
• Occurs primarily in incisor and canine
region of maxilla
• Non aggressive, self limiting growth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
104. RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES
In the compound
odontoma,
multiple small
and malformed
tooth-like
structures are
formed creating

105. Compound odontoma in the body of the mandible
of a 17 year old boy
These lesions are generally sit. between the
roots of the erupted teeth.
The lesion is well demarcated from surrounding bone
by a thin radiolucent line representing the follicular capsule
www.indiandentalacademy.com
106. PATHOLOGIC FEATURES
• It consist of mostly dwarfed teeth with
malformed crown and roots. The No. vary
from 2 to 2000.
• Different components such as enamel,
dentin, cementum, pulpal tissue is
present in disoriented fashion.
• There is generally a surrounding capsule
representing the dental follicle.
• There may be inductive hyalinization of
the surrounding connective tissue.

108. SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
• They are removed surgically to prevent
cystic change, bone destruction and to
their interference with normal eruption
of the permanent teeth.
• Recurrences are rare and can be
prevented by removing the entire soft
tissue portion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
109. COMPLEX COMPOSITE
ODONTOMAS
• It represents an abortive attempt at
tooth formation.
• Structural differentiation is poor.
• The end result being a calcified mass
displaying a disorderly pattern of hard
tissues.
• There is little resemblance to tooth
form. The dentin and enamel are
entwined in a mass that bears no
resemblance to teeth. The result is a
www.indiandentalacademy.com
solid, dense mass of hard tissue.

113. Periapical lesions
•
•
•
•
•
•
Periapical cemental dysplasia
( Cementoma, periapical osteofibrosis,
periapical dysplasia)
Common cementum producing lesion.
Incidence 2-3 per thousand pts. Gorlin
(1958)
83% in black people
Primarily affects women 91% (Zegarelli
1964)
Average age 39 yrs. Rarely before 20
yrs.
Lesions are multiple & 77% occur in
ant. Mand. Regn.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
114. Periapical cemental dysplasia
• Radiographically 3 distinct stages /
considered
progressive.
• First osteolytic stage ( radiolucent like
lesion surrounding apex )
• Second stage – intermediate referred to as
cementoblastic ( partially calcified & show
central area of opacity )
• Third or mature stage ( completely radio
opaque surrounded by a thin radiolucent
line )
• Limited growth potential / rarely grows
www.indiandentalacademy.com
larger than 5 mm.
115. Periapical cemental dysplasia
• Microscopically Variation in presention
depending on stage of development.
• Early lesion composed of collagen producing
fibroblasts & nutrient vessels. As it matures
fibroblasts differentiate into cementoblasts or
osteoblasts. Followed by formation of
cementicles which coalesce to form solid masses
of cementum. Occasionally incremental lines may
give pagotoid appearance.
• Diagnosis By Radiographic & Clinical evalun.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
117. CEMENTOBLASTOMA
(TRUE CEMENTOMA )
As a group, odontogenic tumors are not
common.
Cementoblastoma is among the rarest of the
rare.
This tumor typically occurs around the roots of
the lower
posterior teeth.
Like virtually all odontogenic tumors,it is
benign but
expands the jaw,www.indiandentalacademy.com requires
causes pain and
surgical removal.
118. Radiographically
it appears as a ball of dense material
attached to the end of the root
Cementoblastoma,
typical radiographic
appearance of a ball of
cementum clinging to the
root.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
119. Cementoblastoma,
gross specimen.
This dense material is presumed to be
cementum and the tumor cell line that
secretes it is cementoblasts,
w
hence the name. ww.indiandentalacademy.com
120. So why the other name
“true cementoma”?
Recall that the lesion we know as cementoma is a selflimiting lesion ordinarily found in and around the
apices of the lower incisor teeth.
But the cementoblastoma is not self-limiting, it
continues
to grow until it is removed, hence it is a “true” tumor,
a true cementoma.
Maybe we should call the self-limiting
cementoma by its other name, periapical cemental
dysplasia.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
121. Histologically
• the mass of cementum is attached to the
tooth root.
• As it expands, the cementoblasts at the
periphery add new cementum.
Cementoblastoma, medium
power histopathology of the
decalcified specimen.
The field is dominated by
