Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors. They are usually asymptomatic and could be detected accidentally after an X-ray examination of the jaw. The most frequent location of odontomas is maxillary front. The case reported here is a complex odontoma found in the left mandible, associated with an impacted third molar of a 14-year-old girl. Under local anesthesia, both the impacted third molar and odontoma were surgically extracted. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of complex odontoma.

ABSTRACT A 20-year-old female reported with chief complaint of pain in the left mandibular third molar region. Intraoral examination revealed inflamed area was notice near the retromolar area. Radiological examination showed impacted left third molar with pericoronal radiolucency of about 2.5 mm. Surgically, a very small cystic cavity was noticed surrounding the crown of the impacted third molar. Histopathological examination revealed a small cystic space lined by epithelium of two to three cell layers thick. The final diagnosis of dentigerous cyst was made. Thus, odontogenic lesion may be found in radiographically normal follicular space. How to cite this article Sarode GS, Sarode SC, Patil S. Expect the Exceptional. World J Dent 2014;5(3):196-197.

The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and types of the impacted mandibular third molar at the highest risk for pain and pericoronitis using clinical and radiographic analysis. A total of 239 volunteers, including 147 (61.5 %) male and 92 (38.5%) female patients presenting with acute pericoronitis, participated in the study. The mean age of the participants was 28 years (range 16-40 years). The analysis of type, angulations and eruption level of the mandibular third molar were achieved by using I.O.P.A. X-ray and in few cases, lateral oblique of mandible. While mesioangular impaction was the most frequent angulation (44.4%), horizontal impaction was quite less (11%). Vertical impaction (27.6%) was slightly higher than distoangular impaction (15.9%) and aberrant (0.8 %). Key words: Impacted third molar; pericoronitis; types of impaction DOI: 10.3126/jcmsn.v6i3.4071Journal of College of Medical Sciences-Nepal, 2010, Vol. 6, No. 3 pp.24-28

Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumors subdivided morphologically into complex or compound odontomas. This paper describes the case of a complex odontoma in a 31-year-old male who complained of a painless swelling in right mandibular region which was diagnosed radiographically as complex odontome. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was done and sent for histopathological examination.

Objective: Odontomas are the most common form of odontogenic tumors of the jaw, represent a benign hamartoma rather than a true neoplasm. They constitute 22% of all odontogenic tumors. Odontomas are consist of two types, compound and complex. The compound odontomas contain recognizable enalmel, dentin and sometimes cementum, shaped in toothlike structures; whereas complex odontomas are composed of irregular masses of dentin and enamel and have no anatomic resemblance to a tooth.Methods: A17-year-old female patient came to Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with a slow growing and asymptomatic swelling in her left mandible. The panoramic radiograph showed a radioopacity and radiolucent lesion, with well-corticated limits. The radioopaque area was amorphous, circumscribed by a thin and irregular radiolucent halo. An inscisional biopsy confirmed the lesion as a complex odontoma. The surgery performed was hemimandibulectomy followed by a reconstruction using a plate under general anaesthesia.Results: Complex odontomas are most likely to be found in the posterior region of the maxilla or the mandible and can be treated with a simple enucleation and curettage. In this case report the hemimandibulectomy was performed due to the extensiveness of the mass.Conclusion: Surgical removal of large complex odontoma with hemimandibulectomy is a rare clinical scenario. The extensiveness of the lesion contributed to its removal technique.
