Odontomas, common dental tumors, are usually asymptomatic. This case highlights a rare erupting complex odontoma causing pain, infection, and facial asymmetry.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Odontomas are the most frequent odontogenic tumors, typically presenting asymptomatically and detected incidentally via radiography.
  • These benign neoplasms originate from odontogenic epithelium and ectomesenchyme, with various classifications including compound and complex types.

Observation:

  • A rare instance of a large, erupting complex odontoma is presented.
  • The odontoma's eruption into the oral cavity led to significant clinical manifestations.

Findings:

  • The complex odontoma caused notable symptoms including pain, secondary infection, and facial asymmetry.
  • This presentation is unusual, as complex odontomas rarely erupt and are more commonly discovered incidentally.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering odontomas in the differential diagnosis of symptomatic oral masses.
  • The erupting nature of this complex odontoma offers insights into the potential clinical behavior and management of these tumors.
  • Further research into the factors influencing odontoma eruption and associated complications is warranted.
