Complex Odontoma - Case Report
ODONTOMA
Abstract
Abstract:
Odontomas are considered as benign tumors of odontogenic tissue origin and are more over non-aggressive. They can also be categorized as hamartomas and are a result of developmental malformation of odontogenic tissues. They possess limited and slow growth potential and are well differentiated. They can be ectodermal, mesodermal or mixed in origin. Compound odontomes are reported to be twice more common than complex odontomes. Complex odontomes are asymptomatic unless they cause bony expansion of the jaws.
Case report: This paper aims to report and discuss a case of 22-year-old female presented with complex odontoma of large size with impacted teeth 47 and 48 with painless swelling on right angle of mandible region.
Keywords: Complex Odontoma, Mandible, Odontogenic Tumors, Benign Tumors.
