Summary
Odontomas, a type of odontogenic tumor, can obstruct permanent teeth eruption. This case report details a complex odontoma in a child that was surgically removed to allow a central incisor to erupt.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Pediatric Dentistry
Background:
- Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors.
- They are typically asymptomatic and found during routine dental radiography.
- Interference with tooth eruption is a known complication.
Observation:
- A 12-year-old child presented with a complex odontoma.
- The odontoma was obstructing the eruption of the left maxillary permanent central incisor.
- Radiographs revealed radio-opaque calcified masses.
Findings:
- Surgical excision of the complex odontoma was performed.
- The goal was to facilitate the eruption of the impacted central incisor.
Implications:
- Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing odontomas.
- This case highlights the importance of radiographic examination in pediatric dentistry.
- Successful management can prevent long-term dental complications.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
