“…Botelho et al . have listed multiple COs.[ 9 ] These lesions may reach enormous size causing complications such as cortical expansion, facial disfigurement, difficulty in feeding, difficulty in breathing due to nasal obstruction, destruction of the maxillary sinus, and destruction of floor of the orbit causing proptosis. Some may result in the perforation of the buccal cortex and present as peripheral lesions which may mimic gingival lesions.…”

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare tumor affecting the pediatric population and young adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005 defined it as “A neoplasm composed of proliferating odontogenic epithelium in a cellular ectomesenchymal tissue with varying degrees of inductive changes and dental hard tissue formation.” There exists a controversy on its histogenesis designating it as a hamartoma (developing complex odontoma [CO]) or a true neoplasm since both the lesions appear similar histologically. Recently, the WHO in 2017 has clubbed both these lesions as the same entity. Most cases are reported in males and in mandible, while cases in maxilla are scarce. This article describes a recurrence of a previously reported case of ameloblastic fibroma which showed maturation into AFO or CO in a girl aged 6 years in the posterior maxilla. This case is reported due to its rarity and a brief review with differential diagnosis is also discussed.

“…On reviewing cases of giant complex odontoma of mandible in the literature, we have found that only 15 cases were reported heretofore [ 4 , 8 , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] ] ( Table 1 ). Seven patients (46.7%) were females, and eight (53.3%) were males.…”

“…33.3% were reported in the left posterior region, 60% in the right posterior, while only one case (6.7%) was reported in the anterior mandible. Moreover, multiple odontomas occurring in more than one region of subject's jaws were reviewed by Botelho et al [ 18 ]. It seems that giant complex odontomas have great tendency to expand the jaw, where all reported giant complex odontomas (100%) were associated with buccal and/or lingual bone plates expansion, and most of these cases (80%) reported correlated facial asymmetry.…”

“…The case presented had no recurrence. In the literature, two-stage surgical management is described for large odontomas where the risks of pathologic fracture and damage to vital anatomic structures are higher ( 10 , 15 , 23 , 24 ). Since odontomas are in most cases an obstacle to the emergence of permanent teeth, causing permanent tooth impaction, there is no general agreement for the treatment of an impacted tooth in the literature.…”

Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumors formed from epithelial and mesenchymal cells. They are mostly associated with disorders of tooth eruption, causing impaction and/or delayed tooth eruption, and are an accidental finding on routine radiological examination. The aim of this paper is to present current findings in the etiology and treatment of odontomas, as well as the clinical and radiographic features, describing a case that is rarely found in the literature. A case of multiple complex odontoma in the mandible of an 11-year-old boy is presented, causing impaction of the first permanent right molar, 46. The treatment consisted of surgical enucleation of the multiple complex odontoma with preservation of the impacted tooth, monitoring clinically and radiologically its spontaneous eruption followed by final orthodontic alignment. Odontomas are not an everyday part of clinical practice and given that they are most commonly associated with permanent tooth impaction, it is extremely important to have knowledge of their clinical and radiological features. Early diagnostics and appropriate treatment result in better diagnosis, thus increasing the possibility of preserving the impacted teeth.
