The removal of impacted mandibular third molar is a common surgical procedure entailing some risk of complications, especially when the tooth and the inferior alveolar nerve and/or lingual cortical plate are in close proximity. A technique that can reduce the possibility of damage is the Ultra Sonic Bone Surgery. The aim of this report is to present a paradigmatic case of an impacted mandibular...

The purpose of this article is to describe the clinical features of otodental syndrome. A 9-year-old boy presented with dental abnormalities that have been described for otodental syndrome. The characteristic findings included large bulbous crowns in canine and molar teeth of both dentitions, deep vertical enamel fissures separating the cusps of affected molars, and hypoplastic yellow areas on ...

the term odontoma is used to identify a tumor that is characterized by the production of mature enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissue and may interfere with the eruption of the associated tooth. the present report describes an odontoma in a 13-year-old boy, which is associated with an impacted tooth through a canal

Odontomas are the most common tumor-like (hamartoma) odontogenic lesions in gnathic bones. There two main types: complex odontoma which is composed mainly of amorphous calcification, and compound characterized by irregular tooth-like structures. generally asymptomatic cases involve only one quadrant maxilla or mandible. The treatment choice surgical removal. aim present study to report a rare c...

Odontomas are nonaggressive, hamartomatous developmental malformations or lesions of odontogenic origin, which consist of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulpal tissue 'Erupted odontoma' is a term used to specifically denote odontomas, which are exposed into the oral cavity. These are rare entities with only 25-30 cases being reported so far in the dental literature. Here, we present a rare case o...

The tumors in which odontogenic differentiation is fully expressed are the odontomas. Odontomas are considered as hamartomas rather than a true neoplasm. These tumors are composed of enamel, dentine, cementum and pulp tissue. It is most commonly associated with the eruption of the teeth. They are usually discovered on routine radiographic examination. In exceptional cases, the odontoma erupts i...

The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor. It occurs predominantly in children and young adults with no sex predilection and locates most often in the posterior segment of the mandible. A painless swelling is the most common clinical sign. Radiologically, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma shows a circumscribed radiolucency, which contains radio-opaque foci of various sizes and...

Primary tooth impaction is a rare finding during the development of primary dentition. Several factors contribute to the impaction of a deciduous tooth. This report describes the diagnosis and treatment of a 10-year-old boy who presented an impacted second primary mandibular molar. This tooth, located inferior to the second premolar together with an odontoma, was positioned superior to the prem...

BACKGROUND A compound odontoma is a mixed tumor of odontogenic origin, in which both ectodermal and mesenchymal cells exhibit complete differentiation, resulting in the formation of tooth structures. It occurs with equal frequency in both sexes, and is often initially asymptomatic. CASE REPORT A 7-year-old boy was recently examined in our Department for management of a compound odontoma. Surg...
