title: [Clinical course, histology and prognostic assessment of odontomas].
abstract: In our opinion ameloblastic fibro-odontoma seems to be a true neoplasia. Complex composite odontomas and compound composite odontomas represent hamartomatous malformations. The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma seems not to differentiate into a complex composite odontoma. Since ameloblastic fibro-odontomas bear great resemblance to common odontomas, it is suggested that all odontomas be sent to a qualified oral pathologist for microscopic examination.
