Abstract
An odontoma is a benign tumor of odontogenic origin as it is linked to tooth development. Specifically, it is a dental hamartomas, meaning that it is composed of normal dental tissue that has grown in an irregular way. The average age of people found with an odontoma is fourteen. The condition is frequently associated with one or more unerupted teeth. Though most cases are found impacted within the jaw there are instances where odontomas have erupted into the oral cavity. These are the most common type of odontogenic tumors and generally they are asymptomatic. The paper presented a case of odontomas diagnosed in children presented with over-retention of primary anterior teeth and swelling of the cortical bone. The management includes the surgical excision of the lesion followed by orthodontic treatment in order to move an impacted permanent tooth to its normal position. The results achieved indicate that the early diagnosis of odontomas allows the adoption of a less complex and expensive treatment and ensures better prognosis.
