title: Benign tumors of the jaws.
abstract: There are a variety of types of benign tumors of the jaws, ranging from tumors developed from the odontogenic tissues to regular osseous tumors and dysplasias. During the last 20 years, the World Health Organization classification on odontogenic tumors, neoplasms, and lesions related to bone has been used. This year, a revised edition will appear, and this review has been based on the revised edition. A number of good articles have been published during the period of review (late 1988 to early 1991). An attempt has been made to extract the essence of these papers.
