Odontogenic Tumors, WHO 2005: Where Do We Go from Here?

Authors: John M. Wright, Edward W. Odell, Paul M. Speight, Takashi Takata

Published in: Head and Neck Pathology | Issue 4/2014

Abstract

As our knowledge of disease improves, its classification continually evolves. The last WHO classification of odontogenic tumors was 9 years ago and it is time for revision. We offer the following critique as a constructive, thought provoking challenge to those chosen to provide contemporary insight into the next WHO classification of odontogenic cysts, tumors, and allied conditions.
