A Case of Unerupted Lower Primary Second Molar Associated with Compound Odontoma

Odontoma is the most common type of benign odontogenic tumor, and often causes disturbances in the eruption of its associated tooth. Odontomas usually occur in the permanent dentition, and rarely occur solely in the primary dentition. This case report documents a six-year-old-child with a compound odontoma located in the mandible, which caused the impaction of the primary second molar

An Unusual Complex Odontoma

Odontoma, complex type is an agglomerate of all the dental tissues that are characterized by normal histodifferentiation but abnormal morphodifferentiation producing little or no resemblance to normal tooth form. They are usually asymptomatic but often associated with eruption disturbances. An interesting case of unusually large complex odontoma that was associated with pain and an impacted as well as missing molar is reported
