Odontogenic tumors, WHO 2005: where do we go from here?

John M Wright et al. Head Neck Pathol. 2014 Dec.

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.
