Odontogenic Tumors

  • Commonly seen as central entities in the mandibular posterior region followed by the maxillary arch, with rare peripheral variants.

  • With frequent recurrences and possibility of dedifferentiation in pre-existing benign variety, a careful detailing and follow up is mandatory.
