Three hundred ninety-six odontomas were included in this study, with each case assigned to one of three categories using commonly accepted histologic criteria for compound and complex forms. Analysis revealed that compound odontomas were the most common type (70 percent of all cases). They were most common in the 11 to 15-year-old age-group and in the maxillary incisor area or the canine regions of either jaw. There was a nearly equal sex distribution. Complex odontomas showed similar age and sex distribution; they had a greater tendency to occur in the molar regions. Complex odontomas were also associated with unerupted teeth more often than compound odontomas. Tooth agenesis in the area of an odontoma or the impaction of a primary tooth by an odontoma occurred infrequently. This study showed that there is a correlation between the site of an odontoma and the age at which it is generally treated.
本研究纳入了396例牙瘤，根据公认的复合和复杂形式的组织学标准，将每个病例归入三类中的一类。分析显示，复合牙瘤是最常见的类型（占所有病例的70%）。它们在11至15岁年龄组以及上颌切牙区或上下颌尖牙区最为常见。性别分布几乎相等。复杂牙瘤显示出相似的年龄和性别分布；它们更倾向于发生在磨牙区。复杂牙瘤比复合牙瘤更常与未萌出牙齿相关。牙瘤区域的牙齿缺失或乳牙受牙瘤阻生的情况很少见。本研究表明，牙瘤的部位与其通常接受治疗的年龄之间存在相关性。
