A case report on CBCT guided management of compound odontoma with 2 denticles in a 9-year-old patient Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Odontomas are benign developmental tumors formed by the improper growth of completely differentiated epithelial and mesenchymal cells of odontogenic origin. The etiology of odontoma is unknown and it is detected during routine radiographic examination. The ideal management is early detection and surgical enucleation. The commonly associated clinical problems of odontomas are delayed exfoliation of primary teeth, delayed eruption or impaction of permanent teeth, displacement of teeth, root resorption, congenital missing, and widening of follicular space. Here, we describe a unique case of compound odontoma with two denticles managed in the right anterior maxillary region underwent surgical management of a case of compound odontoma in a 9-year-old girl patient who presented with a complaint of swelling in the maxillary right anterior region.
