Many tumours occur in the jaw bones, and which arise from cells that originally lead to teeth, and the various types of teeth tissue.

Called "odontogenic", these tumours can grow in ways that are both predictable and unpredictable. They can arise in specific age ranges, have certain jaw area predispositions, and can have highly specific prognoses.

Treatment is often a titrated and considered course, directed against a known disease, and which in surgical hands maximises the chance of cure, as well as minimise the potential for relapse.

Having a tumour can be devastating, not only because of the fear of surgery, but because surgery has the potential to disfigure or maim. Specialist surgery, under controlled and informed direction, can not only be curative, but rehabilitative and reconstructive.
