Erupted Complex Odontoma in Mandibula: Case Report
Journal Title: Interventions in Pediatric Dentistry Open Access Journal - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumour. They are considered to be hamartous rather than neoplasms. They are consist of dentin, enamel and cementum. They are generally asymptomatic and discovered on routine radiographic examination. Disturbances in tooth eruption are one of the most common complications associated with odontomas. Eruption of odontoma in the oral cavity is rare. This case report presents an erupted complexodontoma in a 12-year-old girl long with its related clinical and radiological manifestations and the surgical management. Odontogenic tumors were described by Broca in 1867 [1]. Odontomas are well differentiated benign mixed odontogenic tumors originating from epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Odontomas are not a real tumor; they are also defined as hamartomatous lesions [2,3]. Odontomas constitute 22% of all odontogenic tumors observed in jaws [4]. Although their etiology is not fully known, local trauma and infections are reported as possible factors. Furthermore, it has been indicated that inheritance and genetic mutation also play a role in etiology [5]. 2 types of odontoma were defined by the World Health Organization in 2005, these are complex and compound odontoma [6]. During the development of the tumor, anatomically similar structures to normal teeth called compound odontoma are formed with enamel and dentin accumulation. However, when the dental tissue forms create a simple irregular mass, this structure is defined as complex odontoma [2-6]. Compound type odontoma is almost 2 times more common than complex type odontoma. Compound odontomas are usually formed in the maxillary incisor and canine tooth region [7]. Complex odontomas are seen in the mandibula and the premolar- molar region by 70% [8].
