Compound Odontoma in Maxillary Anterior Region
Journal Title: Interventions in Pediatric Dentistry Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Odontomas are most common hamartomatous developmental malformations. They can be differentiated into compound and complex type based on the level of organization of the tissues. Majority of odontomas are asymptomatic however these lesions can cause delayed eruption, impaction, or even retention of deciduous teeth. This case report presents a compound odontoma in 13 year old boy along with its related clinical and radiological manifestations and the surgical management. Odontomas are mixed odontogenic tumors in which both the epithelial and mesenchymal components have undergone functional differentiation to the point that both enamel and dentin are formed. The enamel and dentin are typically arranged in an abnormal pattern because the organization of the odontogenic cells fails to reach a normal state of morpho differentiation [1]. The most common of the odontogenic tumors, odontomas are thought about as amartomatous rather than neoplastic in nature [2]. WHO has classified odontomas into two varieties depending on their degree of morpho differentiation? Compound odontoma is a lesion within which all the dental tissues are depicted in an orderly fashion so that there is minimum of superficial anatomic alikeness to teeth. In a complex odontoma, on the other hand, although all the dental tissues are represented, they are formed in such a rudimentary fashion that there is little or no morphologic similarity to traditional tooth formation.
