Head and Neck ImagingOdontoma
hamartomatous malformation of odontogenic tissue. It may vary from nondescript masses of dental tissue (complex odontoma) to multiple well-formed teeth (compound odontoma). There exist some other much rarer varieties of odontomas. Compound odontoma is the more frequent variety and occurs most often in the maxillary incisor or canine region. Complex odontoma resembles a mature cementoma, but is seen more often in the mandibular molar regions, develops in childhood and adolescence and is more radiopaque.
