Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
Odontomas are the most common type of benign odontogenic tumours; they are asymptomatic and are often discovered during routine radiographs of the jaws. Odontomes can be used as stem cell reservoirs and generally eruption of an odontome into the oral cavity and occurrence of a complex odontome in the anterior maxilla is rare. We report two cases of odontomes one a rare case of erupting complex odontome in the anterior maxilla and the other rare case of partially erupted odontome.
