Presentation
Conclusion The present case highlights that odontomas could occur even in a very young age of 12 years presenting clinically as an inflammatory swelling unearthed with radiographic investigations. [ijsronline.net]
This was also seen in this present case described. [opendentistryjournal.com]
The history of presenting illness revealed that the swelling had been present for the past 6 months and had mildly increased in size for the past 2 months. The swelling had been asymptomatic. [contempclindent.org]
However, in the present case, the odontoma measured about 3 × 3 cm, which is very rare. [jiaomr.in]

Case of erupted compound odontoma A 19-year-old man was referred to our clinic by his dentist for evaluation of a radiopaque lesion in anterior maxillar region of the second quadrant that caused impaction of the left canine tooth. [njcponline.com]
Jaw & Teeth
- Small Teeth
Well-defined small teeth like structure were noticed distal to maxillary second molars bilaterally. [jdrr.org]
Skin
- Eruptions
The presented case is the 13 th case of erupted compound odontoma reported in the English literature. Erupted odontomas are generally seen in older people. [njcponline.com]
The intraosseous odontomas occur inside the bone and may erupt into the oral cavity (erupted odontome). [amsjournal.com]
The third variety of odomtoma is erupted odontoma [ 17, 18 ]. The procedure of eruption of such odontomas in the oral cavity is different as compared to the eruption pattern of normal teeth. [opendentistryjournal.com]
Odontomas rarely erupt in the oral cavity. We present a case of a partially erupted odontoma in the right third molar region. 2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
- Fracture
Infection of odontomas can also lead to pathological fracture of the jaws and osteomyelitis followed by extraoral eruption of the mass penetrating the cheek. [ijsronline.net]
[…] mandibular 3 rd molar was close to the lower border of mandible, a reconstruction plate was fixed along the lower border of mandible posteriorly from ramus of mandible and extending anteriorly up to 1 st premolar 44, through trans buccal approach to prevent fracture [jdionline.org]
Treatment
After excision, bone grafts may be necessary depending on the need for further treatment. [jdionline.org]
The treatment of choice is surgical removal of the odontoma. [njcponline.com]
Although similar in age range and clinical location to the odontoma, the neoplastic tumor has a clinically aggressive growth. 3-4 Treatment: Except for rare, large, complex lesions like this case, odontomas do not require treatment unless they block tooth [dentalcare.com]

Orthodontic treatment may be indicated to correct malocclusion. İn our two cases reported, odontomas are associated with un erupted teeth. [clinicsinsurgery.com]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis Surgical resection is the treatment of choice and there is no recurrence. Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]
We thought that the etiology of the odontoma might be releated to the trauma so we removed the odontoma because it might affect the prognosis of the tooth (Figure 7). Odontomas removed surgically (Figure 8). [clinicsinsurgery.com]
Regular follow-up period is crucial to evaluate the prognosis of these teeth. [njcponline.com]
Early diagnosis of odontomas allows adoption of a less complex and less expensive treatment and ensures better prognosis. Keywords: Anterior mandible, complex odontoma, primary tooth How to cite this article: Gill NC, Yadav R. [indjos.com]
The odontomas have a favorable prognosis with rare chances of relapse. 1. Shafer WG, Hine MK, Levy BM. Tumors and cysts of odontogenic origin. In: Shafer WG, Hine MK, Levy BM, editors. A Textbook of Oral Pathology. 4 th ed. [jiaomr.in]

Growth pressure due to inadequate space is been quoted as the etiology in some odontomas. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These are usually detected in routine radiographs and may have a variable etiology such as local trauma, genetic mutation, or infection. They are classified into two main types: complex and compound. [contempclindent.org]
Although unknown, the etiology is said to include local trauma or infection. [jiaomr.in]
