[Mixed odontogenic tumours].
Mixed odontogenic tumors include all tumors of the teeth both epithelial and mesenchymatous. Most of these tumors are rare (ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma and fibrodentinoma, odontoameloblastoma, calcified odontogenic cyst). Other tumors such as odontoma are frequent. They have in common a benign aspect, their often-fortuitous observation, a higher rate in the young adult and surgical treatment by complete exeresis preventing recurrence. They present a radiolucent lacuna but appear different depending on the presence or not of intralesional calcifications revealing the production of more or less mature dental tissue. The diagnosis may be confirmed only by an anatomopathological examination, along with clinical and radiological observations.
