Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the occurrence of clinically and histopathological diagnosed odontogenic tumors during the period of 15 years in Iraqi population.

Materials and Method: A total of 3652 biopsy specimens from the histopathological report’s archive of oral pathology laboratory in Oral Diagnosis Department/College of Dentistry/Baghdad University were assessed histologic finding of odontogenic tumors for 15-year (1999-2015). Clinical data regarding age, gender, and site of lesions were collected from biopsy reports and patient’s files.

Results: A total of 145 (3.97%) odontogenic tumors were reported. Ameloblastoma was very mutual odontogenic tumor 49(33.8%), thenkeratocystic odontogenic tumors 29 (20%), peripheral odontogenic fibroma 18 (12.4%), odontogenic myxoma13(9%), and odontoma 11(7.6%), only 5 cases (2.8%) had malignant change, (97.2%) of cases were benign. Odontogenic tumors occurred more in males with most cases appearing in the second and third decades of life.

Conclusion: Odontogenic tumorsshown a low incidence among oromaxillofacial lesions and low rate of malignancy changing.
