“…The diagnosis could be established by radiography (panoramic radiography and/or intraoral radiographs) but cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has played an important role in the diagnosis and identification of lesions [ 16 , 17 ], thereby helping in treatment planning [ 8 ].…”

Odontomas are the most common benign tumors of odontogenic origin. They are normally diagnosed on routine radiographs, due to the absence of symptoms. Histopathologic evaluation confirms the diagnosis especially in cases of complex odontoma, which may be confused during radiographic examination with an osteoma or other highly calcified bone lesions. The micro-CT is a new technology that enables three-dimensional analysis with better spatial resolution compared with cone beam computed tomography. Another great advantage of this technology is that the sample does not need special preparation or destruction in the sectioned area as in histopathologic evaluation. An odontoma with CBCT and microtomography images is presented in a 26-year-old man. It was first observed on panoramic radiographs and then by CBCT. The lesion and the impacted third molar were surgically excised using a modified Neumann approach. After removal, it was evaluated by histopathology and microtomography to confirm the diagnostic hypothesis. According to the results, micro-CT enabled the assessment of the sample similar to histopathology, without destruction of the sample. With further development, micro-CT could be a powerful diagnostic tool in future research.

“…The treatment of choice for odontomas is surgical removal, followed by histopathological 7,[24][25][26][27] examination of biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Literature review showed, the optimal management of the impacted tooth should allow its conservation and [24][25][26] repositioning in the dental arch.…”

The most common type of odontogenic tumours is odontomas. Generally, they are benign and asymptomatic in nature. This paper describes two varieties of odontomas in two different cases. In first case a compound odontoma present in maxillary anterior region lead to over retention of primary teeth and non eruption of permanent teeth. Retained deciduous teeth and the lesion were removed and permanent teeth were allowed to erupt and orthodontic treatment was done. In 2nd case a complex odontoma was incidentally found when patient reported for extraction of mandibular third molar which was surgically excised. The results achieved indicate that the early diagnosis of odontomas allows the adoption of a less complex and expensive treatment and ensures better prognosis.

“…The treatment of choice for compound odontomas is surgical removal, followed by histopathological analysis to confirm the diagnosis [ 7 , 22 – 25 ]. According to the literature, the optimal management of the impacted tooth should allow its conservation and repositioning in the arch [ 22 – 24 ]. On the other hand, impacted teeth are frequently reported to be extracted simultaneously with the odontoma [ 25 ].…”

Odontomas represent the most common type of odontogenic benign jaws tumors among patients younger than 20 years of age. These tumors are composed of enamel, dentine, cementum, and pulp tissue. According to the World Health Organization classification, two distinct types of odontomas are acknowledged: complex and compound odontoma. In complex odontomas, all dental tissues are formed, but appeared without an organized structure. In compound odontomas, all dental tissues are arranged in numerous tooth-like structures known as denticles. Compound odontomas are often associated with impacted adjacent permanent teeth and their surgical removal represents the best therapeutic option. A case of a 20-year-old male patient with a compound odontoma-associated of impacted maxillary canine is presented. A minimally invasive surgical technique is adopted to remove the least amount of bone tissue as far as possible.
