Erratum to: Sequestrating Giant Complex Odontoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Odontomas are the most common benign tumours of odontogenic origin. Due to their hamartomatous nature, they are usually asymptomatic but can cause impaction of one or more teeth. They consist microscopically of all the tissue types found in a developed tooth. We present a case of a large sequestrating complex odontoma resulting in facial asymmetry, cellulitis, pain and partial loss of function. This case has significance, as odontomas of this large size have rarely been reported.

Mystery Behind a Broken, Discolored Right Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report

“…Similar to teeth, odontoma does not develop once fully calcified, but they may get exposed to the oral cavity resulting in swelling and pain due to the increased pressure on the adjacent bone resulting in the resorption and thinning of the adjacent bone [ 13 ]. Surgical excision of odontomas has a good prognosis [ 14 ].…”

Histopathological insight of complex odontoma associated with a dentigerous cyst

“…Odontomas are non-aggressive, hamartomatous developmental malformations or lesions of odontogenic origin, which consists of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulpal tissue 1 2. These lesions are composed of more than one type of tissue and for this reason, have been called as composite odontomas 3 4.…”
