Development and histology of tooth & gingiva Classification Odontogenic cysts- developmental and inflammatory origin Benign odontogenic tumors – Epithelial, mixed and mesenchymal origin Malignant odontogenic tumors Approach Recent advances Summary 2
Although all intraoral epithelium is of a stratified squamous type , there are regional histologic variations, such as nonkeratinized, para keratinized, and orthokeratinized DEVELOPMENT AND HISTOLOGY OF TOOTH & GINGIVA 3
The initial formation of the tooth begins with a down growth of the oral epithelium (dental lamina) into the ectomesenchyme of the jaws. The tooth bud is organised into three parts: the enamel organ, the dental papilla, and the dental follicle. 4
The cells of the enamel organ give rise to ameloblasts , which produce enamel. The cells of the dental papilla give rise to odontoblasts, dentin. 5

7
Once tooth formation is complete, remnants of the epithelium involved in tooth formation persist indefinitely in the tooth-bearing areas of the jaws and gingiva. They are the sources of odontogenic cysts and most odontogenic tumors 8
Odontogenic rests are typically round or strand like in form . Rests are distinguished by their bland cytology lack of ameloblastic differentiation of peripheral columnar cells with nuclear polarization and central stellate reticulum–like zones 9

Clear cell odontogenic ca Rare epithelial lesion of jaw of odontogenic origin. It simulates clear cell ca of salivary gland type of metastatic origin 65
Ghost cell odontogenic ca Rare malignancy Maxilla Can be solid & cystic Recurrent Metastatic 66
Primary intraosseous carcinoma, NOS Squamous cell carcinoma arising within bone from odontogenic epithelial nests a neoplasm arising from an odontogenic cyst or a metastasis M>F Mandibular molar area The diagnosis is made after exclusion of possible origin from a mucosal neoplasm invading bone 67
Odontogenic carcinosarcoma (ODCASA) A very rare neoplasm Fast growing large, firm swelling Extending from the lower left first molar to the coronoid process of the left mandible. Radiogram : radiolucent scalloped and multilocular, relatively well circumscribed Both the epithelial and the ectomesenchymal components show cytological features of malignancy. 68
Approach Imaging - non specific & overlapping. Patient’s age, clinical presentation, radiographs, CT scan and histopathologic study - narrows the differential diagnosis. Location: Majority - posterior mandible Few lesions - anterior mandible : giant cell reparative granuloma, cemento - osseous dysplasia (COD) 69
Relation to dentition: Few odontogenic lesions - periapical in location : radicular cyst , Cementoblastoma, and periapical cemental dysplasia Dentigerous cysts are typically pericoronal , (related to crown of teeth). Ameloblastoma , Pindborg tumor, odontoma , and keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) are associated with an impacted tooth . 70
Relation to inferior alveolar canal: The lesions with epicentre above the canal are likely odontogenic and the lesions below the canal are non odontogenic in origin Margins: Benign lesions are usually well circumscribed and inflammatory; malignant lesions are ill- defined. 71
Cortical integrity and soft tissue: Benign lesions are generally expansile with cortical thinning , whereas malignant or locally aggressive lesions cause cortical destruction with soft tissue component. Presence of periosteal reaction is suggestive of osteomyelitis (OM) or malignant etiology. 72
RECENT ADVANCES Reduced Vitamin E levels in KCOT - suggestive of the possible interrelation between Vitamin E and KCOT in vivo. Increase intake of Vitamin E - reduces the risk of recurrence in KCOT by reducing the dysregulation of Cyclin D1 and down-Regulation of mutant p53. 73
74
Cyclooxygenase (COX)‑2 in dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma - nature and behavior of odontogenic cysts and tumors; definitive target for a pharmacological approach in the management. COX‑2 expression- odontogenic epithelium of dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma. It may contribute to local extension of these lesions by increasing the proliferation of their odontogenic epithelial cells 75
