Abstract Although odontomas are considered to be a common type of odontogenic tumor, they rarely occur solely in the primary dentition. This case report presents an eight and a half-year-old-child with a compound odontoma located in the mandible, which caused the impaction of both primary and permanent canines.

Odontoma is the most common type of benign odontogenic tumor, and often causes disturbances in the eruption of its associated tooth. Odontomas usually occur in the permanent dentition, and rarely occur solely in the primary dentition. This case report documents a six-year-old-child with a compound odontoma located in the mandible, which caused the impaction of the primary second molar.

ABSTRACT Odontoma is the most common type of benign odontogenic tumor, and often causes disturbances in the eruption of its associated tooth. This case report documents a twelve -year-old-child with a compound odontoma located in the anterior maxilla, which caused the impaction of the maxillary central incisor. Spontaneous eruption of the involved tooth occurred once the odontoma was surgically removed.

ABSTRACTSupernumerary teeth occur frequently in permanent dentition, but they are rarely found in primary dentition. Supernumerary teeth of orthodox shape and size that resemble normal dentition are called ‘supplemental teeth’. Supplemental teeth are less common than supernumerary teeth and are often overlooked because of their normal shape and size. Supplemental teeth may cause esthetic problems, delayed eruption and crowding, and they require early diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications. The case reported here is one of bilateral supplemental teeth impeding the eruption of permanent maxillary lateral incisors, and it emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment during early mixed dentition.

Odontoma, a mixed odontogenic tumor, is considered to be a hamartoma rather than a true neoplasm. Fully developed odontomas chiefly consist of enamel, dentin, pulp and occasionally cementum. They are subdivided into compound and complex types. The compound odontoma is composed of multiple, small tooth like structures, whereas the complex type consists of a conglomerated mass of enamel and dentin, having no anatomical resemblance to a tooth. They are usually asymptomatic, slow growing but cause bony expansion, which is often discovered during routine radiography. Here, we report a case of a complex odontoma in the posterior left mandibular region in an eight year old female child.

Background: Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity. Although compound odontomas are common in the pediatric population, they are rare in the mandibular midline region during the primary dentition stage. Case Description: This article provides a rare case-report and literature review of a compound odontoma in the mandibular midline region during the primary dentition stage. A routine occlusal radiograph in an asymptomatic six-year-old patient demonstrated mixed, radiolucent-radiodense lesion apical to #N-#P (mandibular primary incisors) with intact lamina dura. Minor expansion and thinning of labial and lingual cortices were noted on cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images. This report discusses surgical management, histopathologic diagnosis, and 36-month clinical-radiographic follow-up of our case. Practical Implications: Compound odontomas are highly rare during the primary dentition stage in the mandibular midline (0.3%). Routine radiographs are vital for a timely diagnosis and treatment of these pathologies to prevent future orthodontic complications.
