The Odontoma is the most common type of odontogenic. Odontomas are subdivided into compound and complex. They differ histologically and radiographically because of the complex type does not present the orderly organization of tissues such as are in the compound type, in which small structures resemble the denticles.Odontomas compounds are generally diagnosed more than complex type. Can occupy both jaws, with the compound type most frequent in the upper anterior region and posterior complex in upper and lower regions. It affects mostly young adults, however no major differences as to gender. This lesion is usually asymptomatic. The objective of this study was to analyze cases of odontoma diagnosed at the Laboratory of Oral Pathology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Pernambuco( FOP / UPE ) in order to verify the frequency of clinical and radiographic types and to correlate with the anatomical location of the lesion and factors demographics of patients the tumor. The methodology followed: selection of cases from the pathological files, review of slides for diagnostic confirmation reports and to define the clinical and radiographic type, and obtain demographic data contained in the routing record of each case. Were diagnosed 59 cases of patients with odontoma, complex type were 25 ( 42.37 % ) and 34 of the composite type ( 57.63 % ) were diagnosed . It was concluded that the most affected age group was between 11-20 years, females were more affected, the white race was the most prevalent, and the anterosuperior region represented the most frequent anatomical location.
