The odontoma is a hamartoma[1] of odontogenic origin.[2]
The average age of people found with odontoma is 14,[3] and the condition is frequently associated with an unerupted tooth.
22% of odontogenic tumors are odontomas.[4]
There are three types. compound, and complex.[5] (Some sources also include a “Simple” type. This type can also be classified as a supernumerary tooth, having all the structures, and usually sharing some morphology with teeth in general – separate dentin, enamel, and pulpal structures.)[citation needed]
