Compound composite odontoma

Abstract: The term odontoma has been used as a descriptor for any tumor of odontogenic origin. It is a growth in which both epithelial and mesenchymal cells exhibits complete differentiation. Odontomas are considered as hamartomas rather than true neoplasm. They are usually discovered on routine radiographic examination. Odontomas, according to the World Health Organization, are classified into complex odontoma and compound odontomas. The present paper reports a case of compound composite odontomas.

“…It develops in patients younger than 20yearsold, during the odontogenesis process. 20,21 Composite odontoma has lower growth potential than the complex. Usually, odontoma is associated with permanent non-erupted teeth and is the most common odontogenic tumors associated with delays in tooth eruption.…”

“…Odontomas mostly occur in the maxillary anterior region. Complex type odontomas have predilection to mandibular molar region (2,4,7). In our study the anterior region of the jaws were the primary sites for location.…”

“…Compound odontomas involve all dental structures and have numerous tooth-like structures. Complex odontomas are malformations in which all dental tissues are present in a disorder pattern (2,4,5). They are usually asymptomatic and usually diagnosed in routine radiographs.…”

“…Foram descritos pela primeira vez por Paul Brocain em 1867 3 , e geralmente apresentam-se como uma massa anormal de tecido dentário calcificado, representando uma anormalidade com variáveis de tamanho e forma 1 . Dos tumores odontogênicos, é o que se apresenta com maior frequência nos maxilares e geralmente são encontrados em exame radiográfico de rotina, sendo caracterizado por seu crescimento lento, comportamento não agressivo e são diagnosticados entre a segunda e terceira décadas de vida 4,5 .…”

“…A etiologia do odontoma permanece desconhecida, várias teorias foram propostas como fator causal, dentre elas, trauma, infecção, histórico familiar e mutação genética surgiram como possibilidade 3,6 . Clinicamente, a maioria dos odontomas são assintomáticos 5 , no entanto, alguns sinais podem ser observados, como, dor, infecção, linfoadenopatias regionais, expansão óssea alveolar e deslocamento dentário 4 .…”
