Tumor Odontogenic Ectodermal

Odontogenic ecdermatoblastomas arise from remnants of the ectoderm of the arch of the primary oral cavity. They are flat, nodular tumors of pink or red-brown color, firm to the touch and slightly painful on palpation.

The odontogenic ecterodermal component consists of scales of odontal tissue containing calcified collagen fibers. This tissue component contains cells with high protein and lipid content, that is, abnormally developed features. Far from these cellular structures are immature milk teeth, differentiated in the form of amorphous cells, nuclei and small hair fibers. The development of these tumors is associated with a disruption of the immune system that occurs during the tooth development process. Tumors of the odontomous form of the ectdermal ectoderm are observed in children. Such tumors are characterized by growth toward the face, affecting aesthetic properties. Most often, such tumors occur in adolescents aged 12 to 16 years.



**A tumor of the odontogenic-ectodermal type** is a benign tumor that is formed from the enamel organ and epithelial tissue of odontoblasts. This type of tumor is rare and occurs mainly in preschool children. In the adult population, a tumor of this type is diagnosed much less frequently, and accounts for no more than 5% of all detected cases.

This tumor can occur on any part of the tooth, regardless of which tooth is at the stage of eruption, as well as the preservation of milk teeth. In the etiology of tumors of this type, a special role has been established for the pathological activity of oral bacteria that live in the structures of the pulp and periodontium, where they are active
