Abstract

The process of tooth formation (odontogenesis) encompasses complex processes, which combine two principal phenomenons: cellular morphodifferentiation and histodifferentiation. Epithelial odontogenic tumors, in essence, recapitulate odontogenesis at various stages of development and are histologically related to remnants of odontogenic epithelium, left behind near the crown and root portions, following the cessation of this complex and detailed process. Theoretically, odontogenic tumors may develop from these rests or any of the cells that contributed to the process of odontogenesis.
