Abstract

Aim: Odontomas are benign developmental anomalies arising from dental tissues during odontogenesis and are frequently associated with delayed eruption or impaction of permanent teeth. This case report presents the surgical and orthodontic management of impacted maxillary incisors associated with an odontoma. Materials and Methods: An 8-year-old girl presented with unerupted maxillary left central and lateral incisors. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed a radiopaque mass consistent with an odontoma. The lesion was surgically removed, and the closed-eruption technique with gold chain attachment was applied to the impacted teeth. Orthodontic traction was initiated to guide eruption. The lateral incisor erupted first, followed by the successful eruption of the central incisor. Conclusion: Impacted incisors associated with odontomas can be successfully erupted through careful surgical removal of the lesion combined with appropriate orthodontic traction, resulting in favorable functional and esthetic outcomes.

Özet

Amaç: Odontomalar, odontogenez sırasında gelişen, diş dokularından kaynaklanan ve sıklıkla diş sürme gecikmesine veya gömülülüğe yol açan benign gelişimsel anomalilerdir. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı, odontomaya bağlı olarak gömülü kalan üst keser dişlerin cerrahi ve ortodontik yaklaşımla sürdürülmesini sunmaktır. Birey ve Yöntem: Sekiz yaşındaki kız hasta, sürmeyen üst sol santral ve lateral keser dişler şikâyetiyle kliniğimize başvurmuştur. Klinik ve radyografik değerlendirme sonucunda odontoma tanısı konulmuştur. Odontoma cerrahi olarak çıkarılmış ve gömülü dişlere kapalı sürdürme tekniği ile altın zincir uygulanarak ortodontik traksiyon yapılmıştır. Lateral dişin ardından santral diş başarıyla ağız içine sürdürülmüştür. Sonuç: Uygun cerrahi ve ortodontik planlama ile odontomaya bağlı gömülü keser dişler
