The use of xerogenic medications is one of the major causes of reduced salivary gland function.

Authors: Amanda Gruza, DMD, Jason Choi, DDS, FRCD(C), Curtis Chen, DDS, PhD, Diplomat ABOMR and Catherine F. Poh, DDS, PhD, FRCD(C) and Diplomat ABOMP

The etiopathogenesis of hybrid odontogenic lesions is not well defined, however, the presence of numerous, closely approximated sources of pluripotent epithelial cells in the developing jaws is likely associated with their development.
