چکیده
odontoma.2,3 Compound odontomas consist of tooth-like structures that radiographically appear as opacities. Complex odontomas comprise a mixture of odontogenic tissues without dental organization.2,4 Clinically, three types of odontomas are recognized in the literature: central (intraosseous) odontoma, peripheral (extraosseous or soft tissue) odontoma, and erupted odontoma.2,5 Odontomas are often associated with an unerupted or impacted tooth and the failure of a permanent tooth to erupt is the most common clinical manifestation.6 Odontomas generally appear as small, solitary or multiple radiopaque lesions detected during routine radiographic examination that may cause disturbances in tooth eruption, such as impaction, delayed eruption or retention of primary teeth.7 This paper describes the clinocopathologic characteristics of 104 odontomas and a rare case of compound odontoma associated with focal areas of ameloblastic fibroma in an unerupted maxillary central incisor.

Odontoma Associated with an Impacted Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report
Introduction: Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity and are described as one of the contributing factors to tooth impaction. The impaction of the maxillary incisors causes several esthetic and functional problems. A multidisciplinary approach is required for proper planning, surgical pro-cedure, and orthodontic traction of the impacted tooth. Case Presenta...
متن کاملAn Unusual Case Report of Compound Odontoma Associated with Unerupted Primary Lateral Incisor
Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors and account for approximately 22% of maxillary odontogenic tumors [1-3]. They are considered to be developmental anomalies rather than true neoplasms [4]. They are generally asymptomatic [1]. The term odontoma was coined by Paul Broca in 1867. The World Health Organization (WHO) 2005 has categorized odontomas based on the histopathologica...

متن کاملA Compound Composite Odontoma Associated with Unerupted Permanent Incisor: A Case Report
Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors and generally they are asymptomatic. Frequently it may interfere with the eruption of the teeth. This is a case report of a compound composite odontoma in a 9 year old girl, which results in failure of eruption of the permanent upper right central incisor while the contralateral tooth had erupted. A calcified mass was seen in the radiogra...
متن کاملErupting Compound Odontome - A case report
Odontomas are hamartomatous lesions composed of various dental tissues, i.e., enamel, dentin, cementum and sometimes pulp. They are the most common benign odontogenic tumours, constituting 22% of all odontogenic tumours of the jaw. They are slow-growing, benign tumours showing nonaggressive behaviour. They are usually asymptomatic and are often discovered during routine radiography. We report a...
