Odontogenic tumors and their clinical treatment
Summary:
Odontogenic tumors and tumor-like lesions are a group of heterogeneous diseases ranging from sinus or non-neoplastic tissues to benign neoplasms and malignant tumors with metastatic potential. These are derived from epithelial, ectodermic and / adjacent elements of the tooth-forming device. Odontogenic tumors are rare, but can be a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
Odontogenic tumors are a benign, single- or polycystic intraosseous tumor with local disruption potential and multiplicity of tendency, especially when associated with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (or Naevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome) A conservative surgical treatment based on postoperative and later exacerbation with peripheral osteotomy is proposed in order to maintain the integrity of the jaw in new patients.
Since the first description of odontogenic Keratinocyst (OKT) was published in 1956 by Philipsen, the damage was particularly significant due to its specific histopathological characteristics, high rate of recurrence and aggressive behavior. In 1992, the classification of dental blister numbers among developmental (DE myogenic) cysts. Although this classification has not yet been modified in reality,even though the last update was published early in 2017. According to this classification, benign odontogenic tumors are classified as follows: Epithelial, mesenchymal (ectomesenchymal), or mixed depending on which component of the tooth germ gives rise to the neoplasm. Malignant odontogenic tumors are quite rare and named similarly according to whether the epithelial or mesenchymal or both components is malignant.
