Complex Odontoma: Early Detection, Immediate Correction
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors of the jaws, which are benign, slow growing and nonaggressive. Odontomas are usually asymptomatic, but sometimes may interfere with the eruption of the associated tooth leading to impaction or delayed eruption and displacement of adjacent teeth resulting in malocclusion. This article presents a case of complex odontoma in a 12-year-old male patient, who reported with a complaint of delayed eruption of permanent left maxillary first and second molars. The radiological features revealed impacted first, second and third molars with a radiolucent capsule and a corticated border suggestive of Odontoma. A treatment of surgical excision of the lesion, followed by orthodontic traction of unerupted maxillary left first and second molars was carried out successfully. The patient was followed for two years with no recurrence of the lesion.
