“…Compound odontomas seldom cause bony expansion, while complex odontomas often cause slight to marked bony expansion,4 although in our case we noticed expansion of the buccal cortical plate. Surgical exposure and removal of the odontoma, and elimination of the mechanical obstruction is frequently the treatment of choice, and spontaneous eruption can then be expected 7.…”

Many developmental anomalies of the jaw are accidentally diagnosed during radiographic investigations for other symptoms. Complex odontomas are odontogenic tumours, relatively rare in the anterior maxilla and generally asymptomatic. Frequently the odontoma may interfere with the eruption of teeth. This paper describes a case of complex odontoma in an 8-year-old girl, which resulted in the palatal displacement of the lateral incisor and an erupting permanent canine. A calcified mass was seen on the radiograph and was provisionally diagnosed as an odontoma which was surgically enucleated. Routine follow-up was carried out for more than 1 year and no recurrence was seen.

“…Histopathologically, normal-appearing enamel, dentine, cementum and pulp may be seen 1. Odontomas are considered to be a type of odontogenic tumour that may cause the impaction of both primary and permanent teeth 4 5. Most are found when a patient is evaluated radiographically for tooth eruption disturbances 6.…”

Introduction: The dentigerous cyst, also called a follicular cyst is an odontogenic cyst that develops in association with crown of an impacted tooth, predominantly in mandibular third molars of young patients. The Odontoma is a ectomesenquimal tumor of unknown origin that are more considered developmental malformations (harmatomas) than benign neoplasms. Occasionally, the dentigerous cyst is associated with odontoma. Objective: The article aims to report a case of surgical treatment of dentigerous cyst associated with compound odontoma and unerupted tooth in anterior region of the mandible. Case report: A male patient, 17 years of age, without systemic changes, was sent to the Center for Dental Specialties of Horizonte, Ceará, Brazil, specialty of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, for diagnosis and treatment of oral lesions visualized after periapical radiographic examination to determine failed eruption of element 42. Observing the periapical radiograph it was possible to visualize radiopaque lesion suggestive of a compound odontoma and a cystic capsule in association with the element 42. A panoramic radiographwas requested and it was planned a surgical removal of odontoma with curettage of bone cavity and removing the cystic capsule and element 42. There were no significant postoperative complications, the suture removal was performed 7 days after surgery where it was possible to observe a good healing, no swelling and no paresthesia. Conclusion: The treatment of choice is surgical excision of the lesions with the tooth associated to the cyst, it should be performed with proper planning, avoiding injury to vital structures and should not be delayed in order to avoid possible occlusion sequelae.

“…The term odontoma was first coined by Broca in 1866, who defined it as a tumour formed by overgrowth of complete dental tissue 2. Odontoma has also been defined as ‘tumour’ that has developed and differentiated enough to produce enamel and dentin 3.…”
