Complex odontoma associated with an impacted molar

Abstract

Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors. They are usually asymptomatic and could be detected accidentally after an X-ray examination of the jaw. The most frequent location of odontomas is maxillary front. The case reported here is a complex odontoma found in the left mandible, associated with an impacted third molar of a 14-year-old girl. Under local anesthesia, both the impacted third molar and odontoma were surgically extracted. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of complex odontoma.

Odontomi su najčešći odontogeni tumori, uglavnom su asimptomatski i otkrivaju se slučajno posle radiografskog pregleda vilica. Najčešće su lokalizovani u frontalnoj regiji maksile. U ovom radu prikazan je kompleksni odontom udružen sa impaktiranim donjim umnjakom sa leve strane kod četrnaestogodišnje devojčice. U lokalnoj anesteziji, hirurški su izvađeni impaktirani donji umnjak i tumor u celosti. Histopatološki nalaz potvrdio je dijagnozu kompleksnog odontoma.
