Odontomas are odontogenic tumors occurring in the oral cavity. They are composed of dental tissues namely enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp and are mostly discovered on routine radiographic examination owing to their benign and asymptomatic nature. Not many cases of odontomas erupting into the oral cavity are reported. An extensive survey of English literature revealed ten cases of erupted compound odontomas, and the present paper reports a case of a multiple symptomatic erupted complex odontomas of unusually large size involving both the jaws and the maxillary sinus in a 13-year-old male patient. Clinical and radiological examination using conventional and advanced diagnostic imaging with CT revealed an abnormally large radio-opaque mass, the density of which resembled enamel/bone occupying both the jaws and maxillary sinuses bilaterally. Diagnosis of odontoma was made which was confirmed histopathologically. Complete excision of the lesion with lining involving whole of maxillary sinus bilaterally and from the mandibular anterior region was done. Post operative period was uneventful with no evidence of recurrence.

“…Odontomes may be defined as “tumours formed by the overgrowth of transitory or complete dental tissues” ( 4 ). About 22% of all odontogenic tumours are odontomes, which occur as one or many, and may even be associated with missing or impacted teeth ( 5 ). This case report highlights the effective usage of 3D printed model as a surgical aid in the removal of a compound odon-tome and impacted incisors from the mandibular anterior region.…”

Use of 3D printed model as an aid in surgical removal of a rare occurrence of a compound odontome in the anterior mandible associated with impacted teeth

The use of 3D printing in the medical field has been well documented, with significant developments in fabrication of tissues, organs, customized prosthetics, implants, and anatomical models as well as pharmaceutical research. Its use in dentistry, however has been limited mainly to maxillofacial surgery and reconstruction, orthognathic surgery and trauma. Compound odontomes are usually prevalent in the anterior maxilla, however, their occurrence in the anterior mandibular region is rare. This case report highlights the effective usage of 3D printing as an aid in the surgical removal of a compound odontome and impacted incisors in the mandibular anterior region. The surgery was carried out under general anesthesia. A full thickness muco-periosteal flap was reflected and the compound odontome along with the impacted incisors were removed. The defect was restored using a mixture of autogenous scrapes harvested from the chin, xenograft and platelet-rich fibrin. Wound closure was done using 4-0 vicryl. A CBCT scan taken 1 year later confirmed uneventful healing and complete bone regeneration of the surgical defect. Key words:3D printing, model, compound odontome, impacted, incisors.
