ABSTRACT

The compound odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumor composed of several denticles or rudimentary teeth made up of organized dental tissue. Its etiology is not well defined but is attributed to trauma during the first dentition, as well as to inflammatory or infectious processes, inherited abnormalities, odontoblastic hyperactivity or alterations in the gene that controls tooth development. It is among the 3 most common odontogenic tumors, though its ranking among these varies depending on the author consulted. It is usually associated with an alteration in the eruption or malposition of teeth. It has a predilection for the maxillary bone, and is often slow-growing and asymptomatic. Odontomas are diagnosed incidentally during routine X-ray examinations of patients between the second and third decades of life. In this study, we present the case of a 14-year-old female patient with the presence of a compound odontoma comprised of 40 denticles in the left parasymphyseal region, which is treated by enucleation and bone graft placement.
