An Erupted Compound Composite Odontoma Associated with Supernumerary Tooth
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Though odontomas are one of the common odontogenic tumors, erupted odontomas are rare. Erupted odontomas may cause disturbance to the developing occlusion like impaction of the underlying teeth, ectopic eruption or displacement of the erupted teeth. This paper presents a case of 12 year old child who had reported with an erupted compound odontoma along with mesiodens not associated with any diseases or syndromes that led to the displacement of the adjacent teeth. The possible etiology, investigations required, clinical features and treatment done have been discussed.
