Abstract

Introduction: Odontomas are most often located within the bone but can occasionally erupt into the oral cavity due to the eruption forces generated by surrounding reactive tissues. This case report presents the clinical and radiographic findings of a rare case of complex odontoma that erupted in the oral cavity. Case Report: A 23-year-old female patient presented to our clinic complaining of a tooth-like hard mass in the posterior right mandible. Intraoral examination revealed a hard mass with a rough surface, shiny black and yellow discoloration in the area of tooth 47. Panoramic radiographs revealed that tooth 47 was impacted, and an amorphous, well-defined, dentin-opaque structure was present on the eruption path and at the apex of the alveolar crest. The patient was referred to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of erupted complex odontoma. Conclusion: Clinical and radiographic examinations are crucial for accurately diagnosing erupted complex odontomas and formulating an appropriate treatment plan.

Özet

Giriş: Odontomalar çoğunlukla kemik içerisinde yerleşim gösterir ancak nadiren çevresindeki reaktif dokuların oluşturduğu sürme kuvvetleri sayesinde ağız boşluğuna sürebilir. Bu olgu sunumunda ağız boşluğunda sürmüş nadir görülen bir kompleks odontoma vakasının klinik ve radyografik bulguları sunulmuştur. Olgu Sunumu: 23 yaşında kadın hasta, sağ mandibula posteriorda diş benzeri sert kitle şikayetiyle kliniğimize başvurdu. İntraoral muayenede 47 numaralı diş bölgesinde yüzeyi pürüzlü, parlak siyah ve sarı renk değişiklikleri içeren, sert kitle görüldü. Panoramik radyografta 47 numaralı dişin gömülü olduğu ve sürme yolunda, alveol kret tepesinde, amorf yapıda, iyi sınırlı, dentin opasitesinde yapı bulunduğu görüldü. Hasta, sürmüş kompleks odontoma ön tanısı ile Ağız, Diş ve Çene Cerrahisi Kliniği’ne yönlendirildi. Sonuç: Klinik ve radyografik incelemeler, sürmüş kompleks odontoma vakalarının doğru şekilde teşhisi ve uygun tedavi planının oluşturulmasında büyük önem taşımaktadır.
