Odontomas are odontogenic benign tumors composed of dental tissue. Majority of these lesions are asymptomatic and are often detected on routine radiographs. They can be thought of as “tooth hamartomas" with the lesion consisting of various tooth components. They are divided histologically into complex odontomas and compound odontomas. This paper describes the case of a compound odontoma in a 13-year-old girl diagnosed due to the retention of the primary right mandibular second molar. A surgical excision was performed without disturbing the unerupted premolar. The results achieved indicate that early diagnosis of odontomas enables adoption of less complex treatment, a better prognosis, and displacement or devitalisation of adjacent tooth.

RESUMEN. Antecedentes: La impactación de segundos molares mandibulares permanentes (2MM) se presenta con variaciones considerables según el grupo poblacional. Además de los problemas asociados a esta alteración, podrían requerir tratamientos múltiples y complejos. Por lo tanto, el diagnóstico temprano de una alteración en el proceso de erupción del 2MM es imperativo para reducir el riesgo de impactación, la dificultad de tratamiento y la aparición de problemas asociados en las poblaciones. Propósito: Describir las características de impactación del 2MM en pacientes de 8 a 15 años en una muestra de Medellín, Colombia. Métodos: En este estudio descriptivo retrospectivo se evaluaron 1756 radiografías panorámicas de las cuales 95 presentaron impactación de 2MM. Estas se analizaron según sexo, localización en la mandíbula y tipo de inclinación, y se realizaron 13 mediciones lineales y angulares para identificar parámetros dentoesqueléticos característicos del lado de la impactación. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó estadística descriptiva y la prueba t (p<0,05). Resultados: La prevalencia de impactación fue del 5,4 %. La impactación bilateral con inclinación mesial fue la más frecuente. El lado izquierdo predominó en impactaciones unilaterales. El único parámetro dentoesquelético característico de impactación fue el ángulo de inclinación del 2MM con respecto al plano oclusal, con mayor severidad en el lado izquierdo. Conclusiones: Un ángulo igual o mayor a 112,94° podría indicar riesgo de impactación contra el primer molar mandibular permanente. Por lo tanto, este parámetro debería ser incluido en el análisis radiográfico para el diagnóstico temprano de impactación del 2MM. ABSTRACT. Background: Permanent mandibular second molar (MM2) impaction has considerable variations depending on the population. In addition to the problems associated to this condition, it could require multiple and complex treatments. Therefore, early diagnosis of any MM2 eruption alteration is mandatory. This approach could reduce the risk of impaction, the difficulty of treatment, and the occurrence of associated problems in the population. Purpose: To describe the characteristics of MM2 impaction in an 8-to-15-year-old sample of patients from Medellin, Colombia. Methods: 1756 panoramic radiographs were evaluated in this descriptive retrospective study. 95 had impacted MM2s. These radiographs were analyzed according to sex, localization in the mandible, and type of inclination. 13 lineal and angular measurements were taken to identify characteristic dentoskeletal parameters of the impaction side. Descriptive statistics and t test were used (p< 0.05) for data analysis. Results: The prevalence of impaction was 5.41 %. Mesial bilateral impaction was more frequent. The left side was predominant in unilateral impactions. The only dentoskeletal characteristic of impaction was the MM2 inclination angle with respect to the occlusal plane, with higher severity on the left side. Conclusion: A > 112.94° angle could indicate impaction risk against the permanent mandibular first molar. Therefore, this parameter should be included in the radiographic analysis for MM2 impaction early diagnosis.

Impacted permanent tooth can occur on any tooth in the dental arch. The incidence of retention and impaction of the second molar lies between 0 and 2.3%. It is infrequently found in normal dental patients because most of the second molar impactions are asymptomatic. However, it is a common occurrence in orthodontic practice. The impacted second molar may provoke many pathologic disorders to the adjacent and opposite teeth, eventually malocclusions. There are many treatment modalities in facilitating the eruption of the second molar impaction. Early diagnosis and early treatment are crucial for the successful treatment of mandibular second molar impaction. This article presents an overview of various treatment modalities for an impacted second molar.

Early diagnosis of impacted mandibular second molar (MM2) is critical since treatment at a later stage can be complicated. It often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Surgical uprighting of impacted MM2 appears to be a safe, effective, and a reliable alternative to conventional orthodontic mechanics with minimal risk of morbidity or pulpo-periodontal problems. Timely diagnosis is critical and factors affecting treatment outcomes must be assessed for a successful outcome. Although surgical uprighting or repositioning is the most commonly prescribed option for MM2 management, there isn't a review of literature that discusses the etiology, assessment, and surgical management of impacted MM2 with an emphasis on surgical uprighting technique and comparing various factors that affect the outcome.

Abstract Odontomas are one of the most common tumours of odontogenic origin. They are usually asymptomatic but may be associated with retained primary teeth or missing permanent teeth. Though the exact aetiology is unknown, the postulated causes include trauma, infection, inheritance and genetic mutation. Early diagnosis and management will result in fewer complications. Conservative surgical excision is the treatment of choice. This case report presents a treated case of compound odontoma associated with delayed eruption of the permanent central incisor in a nine-year-old boy. Keywords: Compound Odontoma. Continuous...

Congenital missing permanent second molar is an extremely rare condition. Non syndromic mandibular second molar agenesis associated with other anomalies has occasionally been reported in literature, but isolated sporadic cases are rarely observed. Number of interactions between genetic and environmental factors during the process of tooth development might be the causative etiology for agenesis. This report presents an isolated case of hypodontia with absence of bilateral mandibular second molar agenesis in a healthy 18 year old female patient is presented and literature review on prevalence of most missing teeth with incidence of missing second molar in various regions of the world and in various regions of Indian continent is presented. No such case has been reported in Indian literature so far.

Abstract Objective: To elucidate the prevalence of ectopic eruption, impaction, and primary and secondary retention as well as agenesis of the permanent second molar (M2) among adolescents. Materials and Methods: After a sample size calculation, dental records, including radiographs, of 1543 patients (722 girls and 821 boys), from three clinics in the city of Malmoe, Sweden, were retrospectively analyzed. Series of annual records and radiographs were examined for all patients from 10 to 16 years of age and were carried out during 2004–2006. The prevalence of ectopic eruption, impaction, and primary and secondary retention as well as agenesis of M2s was registered in a standardized manner and according to preset definitions. In addition, the times of emergence of the M2s were recorded. Results: The prevalence of ectopic eruption of M2 was 1.5%, the prevalence of primary retention was 0.6%, and the prevalence of impaction was 0.2%. This means that the overall prevalence of eruption disturbances was 2.3%. In addition, the prevalence of agenesis was 0.8%. The prevalence of ectopic eruption was significantly higher in the mandible. Those patients with eruption disturbances and agenesis of M2 showed significantly delayed eruption of their other M2s compared to the individuals without any eruption disturbances. Conclusions: The prevalence of eruption disturbances was higher than reported earlier, and, even if the disturbances do not occur frequently, it is important to develop an early diagnosis in order to start the treatment at the optimal time.

Plexiform neurofibromas are benign tumors that tend to occur in patients suffering from neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). This report addresses a rare case where the tumor affected the parotid gland, deriving almost exclusively from the peripheral portion of the facial nerve. A 6-year-old male was referred to us complaining about a gradually enlarging swelling over the right parotid area. Imaging localized the lesion to the superficial lobe of the parotid gland, suggesting a neurofibroma. Cosmetic disfigurement and a functional deficit led us to perform complete surgical resection. Meticulous surgical dissection as well as auriculotemporal nerve origin made complete extirpation possible with almost zero morbidity and ensured alleviation of both aesthetic impairment and pain. This is the first case of an intraparotid PN in a pediatric NF-1 patient, which originated from branches of the auriculotemporal nerve and particularly from fibers of the autonomic nervous system. Radical surgical excision was decided according to established decision-making algorithms.

Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma is an uncommon odontogenic tumor composed of a benign epithelial component and a malignant ectomesenchymal component most frequently seen in the third and fourth decades of life. It mainly presents as a painful maxillary or mandibular swelling. Radiographs show a radiolucent mass with ill-defined borders. Radical surgical excision and long-term follow-up are the suggested treatment. We report the case of a 22-year-old female with a 2-month history of an asymptomatic swelling in her left mandible. Examination revealed an exophytic growth measuring3×3 cm extending from the mandibular left first premolar to the second molar. The patient underwent a left hemimandibular resection. Histopathological examination revealed a biphasic tumor composed of inconspicuous islands of benign odontogenic epithelium and an abundant malignant mesenchymal component with marked cellularity, nuclear pleomorphism, hyperchromatism, and moderate mitotic figures with clear margins; one year after the surgical procedure, the patient is clinically and radiologically disease-free.
