Infected Large Complex Odontoma Associated With Impacted Mandibular Third Molar: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: The term odontoma refers to tumors of odontogenic origin and is the most common odontogenic tumors. They are considered as developmental anomalies rather than true neoplasm and are commonly discovered during routine radiograph. Odontoma term was coined by Paul Broca in 1867. They are two types of odontoma: compound and complex. Eruption of the odontoma in oral cavity is rare. They are usually asymptomatic. Here we present a rare case of infected large complex odontoma associated with impacted mandibular third molar in a 33 year old male patient with extra oral pus discharge.
