Odontomas are benign tumors of odontogenic origin and are most commonly occurring tumors of the jaws. The etiology of odontoma is unknown. Depending on the extent of morphodifferentiation or their resemblance to normal teeth, odontoma can be divided into two types: the complex and the compound odontoma. Both types are composed of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissues, but in complex odontomas the tissues are arranged in a haphazard fashion with no discernible dental structures, whereas in compound odontomas the dental tissues exist in a more regular pattern so that the lesion consists of tooth-like structures. We report a case of a 22-year-old male with a large complex odontoma in an impacted mandibular third molar tooth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
