Abstract:
A 53-year-old female appeared with pain in the right mandible ramus, for the past 9 months, after tooth extraction. Clinical and radiological examination using conventional and advanced computerized tomography diagnostic imaging led to a provisional diagnosis of multiple complex odontomas. Complete conservative excision of the lesion was performed. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically. Postoperative period was uneventful with no evidence of recurrence. According to an extensive literature review, this report describes the oldest patient ever diagnosed with multiple odontomas in the literature.
