Most authors favor SOT arising from the rests of Malassez for the following reasons: (1) no periodontal ligament can be seen between the SOT and the root of the tooth, suggesting origin in the periodontal ligament[1]; (2) the usual location in the alveolus[4]; (3) the pattern of bony destruction seems to originate relatively consistently from the tooth roots[2]; and (4) the pattern of cytokeratin expression.
The lesion was further described in 1885 by Malassez, who called it an adamantinoma.
