Asymotomatic Complex Odontoma in the Right Posterior Maxilla: A Rare Case Report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors, generally asymptomatic and detected incidentally on radiographs. Complex odontomas are less frequent and often pose diagnostic and surgical challenges due to their irregular structure and location. This case report presents a 17-year-old female with a complex odontoma in the right posterior maxilla, associated with delayed eruption of the adjacent teeth and mild facial asymmetry. Radiographic examination revealed a radiopaque mass with a radiolucent rim, consistent with a complex odontoma. The lesion was surgically excised under general anesthesia via a conservative intraoral approach. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with satisfactory healing and no recurrence observed at 6-month follow-up.
