Various studies have been carried out in different parts of the world to assess the distribution
pattern and incidence of Odontogenic tumors. However these kinds of studies are still rarely
conducted in Odisha Population. The study is a retrospective study which is an attempt to determine
the distribution of Odontogenic tumors in the State. The WHO classification of 2017 was kept as
