This rare lesion is termed as "compound composite
odontoma".
Clinically,
odontoma has two subtypes: complex or compound.
Hamartomatous lesion of Odontogenic origin where the epithelial and mesenchymal cells demonstrate absolute demarcation and every part of dental tissue represented is a Complex
Odontoma [1].
As the lesion matures, the differential diagnosis should include osteoblastoma,
odontoma, hypercementosis, cemental dysplasia, and condensing osteitis as is discussed below:
[4] The present case report is of compound
odontoma in a 15-year-old male that has caused delayed eruption of the right permanent central incisor.
Due to an initial diagnosis of
odontoma, operation was planned.
Removal of a large
odontoma by sagittal split osteotomy.
Cabe senalar que varios autores reportan el
odontoma como uno de los tumores mas frecuentes y aparece de la primera a tercera decada de vida (5-7).
The prevalence of AOT is less than
odontoma, cementoma, myxoma, and ameloblastoma [13].
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor-like areas can be observed in other odontogenic tumors, including
odontoma and calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor.
Initially it was termed as ameloblastic
odontoma, but due to its exceptional mixed nature of growth and incidence of two types of odontogenic tumours with diverse histological and biologic behavior, World Health Organization (WHO) suggested this term to be inappropriate.
