Abstract
|
|
|
|
Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumor. Odontomas are further subdivided into compound and complex categories. Compound odontomas are composed of multiple, small tooth-like structures. On the other hand, complex odontomas consist of a conglomerate mass of enamel and dentin that bears no anatomic resemblance to a tooth. Odontomas are treated by simple local excision, and the prognosis is excellent. The purpose of this study was the treatment of odontomas by surgical excision and tooth eruption of a successive permanent tooth.
