Peripheral osteoma is the most common subtype of osteoma that arises most frequently in the craniofacial bones. It may occur at any age with a male-to-female ratio of 2:1. Peripheral osteoma may affect the mandible, particularly the ramus and the condyle. Compound odontoma is a subtype of odontoma that occurs in young subjects without gender predilection. It affects the maxilla more frequently ...

The most common type of odontogenic tumours is odontomas. Generally, they are benign and asymptomatic in nature. This paper describes two varieties of odontomas in two different cases. In first case a compound odontoma present in maxillary anterior region lead to over retention of primary teeth and non eruption of permanent teeth. Retained deciduous teeth and the lesion were removed and permane...

Introduction: Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity and are described as one of the contributing factors to tooth impaction. The impaction of the maxillary incisors causes several esthetic and functional problems. A multidisciplinary approach is required for proper planning, surgical pro-cedure, and orthodontic traction of the impacted tooth. Case Presenta...

We describe a case of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) associated with odontoma occurring in the posterior mandible of a 32-year-old man. Although calcifications are commonly found in the AOT, the presence of rudimentary dental structures is a very rare phenomenon. Cases with similar aspects have been described as ameloblastic dentinoma, ameloblastic odontoma, adenoameloblastic odontoma and ...

Compound odontomas are the commonest benign odontogenic tumours of jaws affecting mostly children and adolescents. These developmental malformations display many tooth-like structures or denticles that consist well-defined dental tissues with diverse morphologies. Majority these lesions occur as intraosseous masses in maxillary anterior region incidental radiographic findings. primarily associa...
