Impacted permanent incisors associated with compound odontoma

Abstract

Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumours of the maxillary bones, characterised by a slow growth and benign behaviour. They are usually small, asymptomatic and diagnosed after routine radiographic examination. The aim of this study was to report a case of a compound odontoma in the anterior maxilla of a 7-year-old girl, which was causing the impaction of the maxillary right central and lateral incisors, as well as the prolonged retention of the corresponding primary teeth. We also aimed to review the literature about these tumours, since they are not part of the dentist's day-to-day clinical practice. The clinical and radiographic features, the diagnosis and treatment of the case were discussed in this work.

Impacted Mandibular Premolar Concomitant with Compound–Complex Odontome in a 13-year-old Girl: A Case Report

“… 5 The patient in our case is a 13-year-old girl, agreeing with the majority of reported cases, where tumors were seen more frequently in the first two decades of life. 5 , 11 , 12 The compound odontome is most habitually seen in the incisor and canine region of the upper jaw as and when compared to complex odontome which is commonly observed in the first and the second molar region of the lower jaw. Both types of odontomes occurred most frequently on the right side of the jaw than the left.…”

“…Odontomas are a developmental defect of hard dental tissues. 1 – 5 They have been classified as benign, tumor-like odontogenic lesions (hamartoma) 6 and they institute about 22% of all the odontogenic tumors of the jaw. Paul Broca in 1867 introduced the terminology, “Odontome” and defined it as a “tumor formed by overgrowth or transitory of complete dental tissue”.…”

Lesão Enegrecida-Azulada Em Mucosa Bucal: Possíveis Diagnósticos Diferenciais E Como Proceder

“…O odontoma possui maior relação com a dentição permanente, sendo comumente diagnosticado em exames radiográficos de rotina, durante a dentição precoce (MACHADO et al, 2015) ou entre a segunda e a terceira década de vida (BEREKET et al, 2015;LEVI-DUQUE;ARDILA, 2019). No caso descrito, o paciente foi notificado tardiamente da existência do tumor, reduzindo as opções de tratamento disponíveis.…”

Gambaran radiograf compound odontoma yang berhubungan dengan impaksi insisivus sentral maxilla: laporan kasus

“…Compound odontoma pada kasus ini terjadi pada area anterior rahang atas kiri, hal ini sesuai dengan kasus oleh Machado et al (2015) yang melaporkan compound odontoma pada area anterior rahang atas yang menyebabkan gigi 11 tidak erupsi. 7 Peranovic dan Noffke (2016) melaporkan penelitian terhadap 90 kasus odontoma, mayoritas adalah compound odontoma (75,6%), 46 kasus terjadi pada rahang atas (24 kasus pada gigi anterior rahang atas) dan 22 kasus terjadi pada rahang bawah. Jumlah kasus compound odontoma yang menyebabkan impaksi pada gigi anterior rahang atas adalah 18 kasus.…”
