M S Thwaites, J L Camacho

    ASDC Journal of Dentistry for Children
    |July 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    A complex odontoma was surgically removed from a six-year-old boy, allowing a hypoplastic unerupted central incisor to erupt naturally. This case highlights prompt surgical intervention for dental anomalies.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Pediatric Dentistry

    Background:

    • Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumors, often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.
    • Complex odontomas are rare, characterized by disorganized dental tissues.
    • Associated dental anomalies, such as unerupted teeth and enamel hypoplasia, can occur.

    Observation:

    • A six-year-old male presented with a complex odontoma.
    • The odontoma was associated with an unerupted central incisor exhibiting enamel hypoplasia.
    • The patient also had a malocclusion.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of the complex odontoma was performed.
    • Post-excision, the unerupted central incisor found an unobstructed path for eruption.
    • The enamel defect in the central incisor was noted.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and management of odontomas are crucial in pediatric patients.
    • Surgical intervention can facilitate the eruption of associated unerupted teeth.
    • This case underscores the importance of addressing complex odontomas to prevent further complications and correct malocclusion.
