Odontoma as obstacle to permanent tooth eruption
Session
Dental Science
Description
Odontoma present a bias most common to of benign odontogenic tumors and often times can prevent the eruption of the permanent tooth. In general, odontomas develop asymptomatically,so their diagnosis is often accidental, during routine visits or by looking for causes of delayed permanent tooth eruption. Odontoma can occur in two forms: odontoma compound and odontoma complex.
Case presentation - a 12-year-old patient was referred to the Oral Surgery Clinic by a Family Medicine Specialist because of prevent the eruption of right maxillary central incisor.
In the X-ray panoramic view, a lesion formed by some small radiopaque fragments under the crown of the maxillary central incisor impacted on the right side is observed. Under local anesthesia and with buccal access, the odontoma is removed, consisting of 11 parts together with the fibrous sheath.The histopathologic result confirmed the diagnosis of odontoma compound.
Delay of permanent tooth eruption can be due to various lesions such as odontoma. Early detection and timely removal of the odontoma enables the eruption and alignment of the permanent tooth in the dental range without the application of orthodontic forces.
