“…Paul Broca, in 1866, used the term odontoma to describe this tumor for the first time (ABDUL et al, 2014;SANTOS et al, 2016). Due to the abnormal and disorganized development of the epithelial and mesenchymal cells (ABDUL et al, 2014;ISOLA et al, 2017), that give rise to the enamel, dentin, cement and pulp tissue, odontomas are considered developmental anomalies of the hamartoma type (KÄMMERER et al, 2016;ISOLA et al, 2017) and not true neoplasms (BOFFANO et al, 2012;ABDUL et al, 2014;KUDVA et al, 2016;AKERZOUL et al, 2017;MALTAGLIATI et al, 2020). They are also denominated benign tumors of odontogenic origin (MURPHY et al, 2014;AKERZOUL et al, 2017;SPEIGHT;TAKATA, 2018;ELSAYED et al, 2020).…”
