Association of kissing odontome and molar - A case report

Journal Title: Journal of Dental Specialities - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

Odontomas are the benign odontogenic tumors, usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during routine radiologic investigations, but sooner when infected. Complex odontomas are irregular calcified masses of dental tissues, with a disorderly arrangement, that bear no morphologic similarity to teeth. We report a case of infected unerupted complex odontoma in the posterior mandible of an adult patient with clinical and radiological features.
