AbstractOdontogenic tumours of the maxillofacial region presents with a large number of histologic patterns and are derived from the primordial tooth forming tissues. They can occur most commonly in mandible and maxilla. The recent WHO classification helps in developing the appropriate treatment plan and categorizing the tumours. The present chapter deals with various benign odontogenic tumours with their clinical presentation and management in detail, based on clinical scenarios.
