Abstract
Introduction: Odontogenic tumours are a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant tumours which derive from dento-maxillary structures and their embryonic remains. The aim here is to present the epidemiological and anatomopathological aspects of odontogenic tumours diagnosed in the pathological anatomy and cytology laboratory of the Niamey National Hospital.
Methodology: This was a 4-year cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical aims, which included all odontogenic tumours. The parameters studied were the age and sex of the patients, the type of specimen, the site and histological diagnosis of the lesion. Pearson’s Chi-square and Student-Fisher tests were used to look for a relationship between the variables studied, with a significance threshold set at P < 0.05

. Oral diseases, while largely preventable, pose a major health burden for many countries and affect people throughout their lifetime, causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement and even death.
. It is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people.
. Untreated dental caries (tooth decay) in permanent teeth is the most common health condition according to the Global Burden of Disease 2019.
. Treatment for oral health conditions is expensive and usually not part of universal health coverage (UHC).
. Most low- and middle-income countries are unable to provide services to prevent and treat oral health conditions..
. Oral diseases are caused by a range of modifiable risk factors, including sugar consumption, tobacco use, alcohol use and poor hygiene, and their underlying social and commercial determinants.
