Compound Odontoma Associated with Multiple Odontogenic Abnormalities in the Mandible of a Child: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Odontomas have been described as a dental abnormality that develops due to the overgrowth of certain components of the dental lamina, which eventually leads to the formation of a poorly structured calcified mass. The occurrence has been attributed to local trauma, infection, congenital defects, odontoblastic hyperactivity, or changes in the genetic material. Clinically, odontomas are largely asymptomatic and are diagnosed during routine examinations and procedures. However, they might frequently be associated with delayed eruption, impacted teeth, or missing teeth, warranting early diagnosis and management. This current paper describes the localization and management of a compound odontoma associated with multiple odontogenic abnormalities diagnosed in a 10-year-old girl. Eventually, surgical excision was planned and performed, and the defect was packed with PRF to promote healing and regeneration of the large defect.
