The Open Dentistry Journal 13 Aug 2009 RESEARCH ARTICLE DOI: 10.2174/1874210600903010173

Abstract

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.

Keywords:: Odontoma, primary tooth, eruption disturbance.
