title: Rat odontogenic tumors associated with disturbed tooth eruption.
abstract: Most odontogenic tumors occurring in rats have the appearance of immature or mature odontomas. The present brief paper describes two spontaneously occurring odontogenic lesions in rats; both had the appearance of complex odontomas. One was associated with a lesion that had the appearance of an odontogenic fibroma; the other occurred concomitant with a lesion that had the appearance of a cementoblastoma. Their possible relationship with disturbed eruption due to malocclusion is discussed.
