description Background: Owing to their clinicopathological characteristics and diverse biologic behaviors, odontogenic tumors (OT) are regarded as noteworthy among oral diseases. Aim: The intention of a retrospective analysis was to determine the prevalence and incidence of various odontogenic types of tumors using the most recent World Health Organization categorization in 2017. Materials and Methods: A 7-year retrospective study that involved retrieving the case folders of individuals who had OT that were histologically confirmed when they first presented at Dhaka Dental College and Hospital. Demographic information about patients and histologic diagnoses were recorded. The statistical software for social sciences (SPSS version 23) was employed to analyze the data and P < 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Results: A total of 366 cases of OT were documented and analyzed. There was a marginally greater impact on males (51.64%) than females (48.36%). The mean age of the patients was 27.85 years, and there was no statistically significant relationship between tumor type and age group (P = 0.84). The mandible was the most common site (96.17%). The benign OT constitutes 99.18%, whereas the malignant OT constitutes 0.82%. The most common OT was ameloblastoma (82.51%), with a tendency for the posterior mandible (P < 0.05), followed by cemento-ossifying fibroma (4.37%) and odontogenic myxoma (3.83%). Conclusions: The relative incidence of OT differs considerably by geography or race. Ameloblastoma is the most prevalent tumor, followed by cemento-ossifying fibroma and odontogenic myxoma. Odontogenic malignant tumors are rarely found in Bangladesh.
