Where is the adenomatoid odontogenic tumor most commonly located?

  1. Posterior maxilla

  2. Anterior maxilla and over impacted canine

  3. Mandible

  4. Posterior mandible

The correct answer is: Anterior maxilla and over impacted canine

The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is most commonly found in the anterior maxilla and often associated with an impacted canine tooth. This tumor is a benign odontogenic tumor that typically occurs in young individuals and shows a predilection for the anterior maxilla. While the tumor can rarely be found in other locations such as the mandible, the most common site of occurrence remains the anterior maxilla in association with impacted canines. This characteristic location is essential to recognize in clinical practice to provide appropriate management and treatment for patients presenting with this tumor.
