title: Chemically induced rat odontomas: morphogenetic considerations.
abstract: Three complex odontomas were found in 30 castrated male rats injected with N-methyl-nitrosourea (MNU) and fed a high-fat diet. Histological studies were performed and the related literature was reviewed. The morphogenesis of the tumors is discussed in the light of the bibliographic data and personal findings.
