Odontomas represent a hamartomatous malformation. They are usually asymptomatic and are diagnosed on routine radiological examination.The eruption and infection of odontoma are uncommon. Till now, only 20 cases of erupted odontoma are reported in the literature. We report an unusual case of infected complex odontoma with eruption of odontoma in the oral cavity and perforation of the cheeks with a tooth impacted upon which makes the presentation unusual that has not been reported earlier. The dentist should be familiar with common and unusual appearance of odontoma for proper diagnosis and management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
