Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors, and are classified as either compound or complex lesions. Although its underlying etiology remains unclear, a number of factors appear to be involved (e.g., prior trauma). The lesions are generally diagnosed in the second decade of life, often in the context of routine dental X-ray examinations. A complex odontoma is described in a 22-year-old woman referring discomfort due to overinfection following its aperture into the oral cavity in the distal alveolar region of 2.6. Initial treatment consisted of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs. Computed axial tomography revealed a solid, irregular mass in the distal zone of the left maxilla, imprinting upon the region of the maxillary sinus on the same side. Surgical resection was performed, raising the alveolar mucosa and upper left vestibular fundus. The surgical piece contained the amorphous adenoma mass and the tooth 2.7. |
