Öğe Complex Odontoma: A Case Report(Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi, 2019) Ketenci, Fatmanur; Gedik, Rüştü; Göze, Ömer Fahrettin GözeOdontomas are the most common of the odontogenic tumors of the jaws. They are usually discovered on routine radiographical examinations during the second and third decades of life. They are characterized by their slow growth and no aggressive behavior. Based on radiographic and microscopic characteristic, odontomas are subdivided into compound and complex types. The compuond odontoma forms multiple irregular tooth like structures. The complex type is characterized by dental tissues in a disorderly pattern without any anatomic resemblance to a tooth. The exact a etiology is not well known, however, local trauma, infections and genetic factors have been suggested. Complex odontomas rarely erupt into the mouth. Despite their asymptomatic nature, their eruption into the oral cavity can give rise to pain, inflammation, infection and ulceration. Additionally large odontomas can cause cortical expansion, facial asymmetry and traumatic ulcers. Odontomas are treated by simple local excision. The purpose of this report is to present a case of complex odontoma in a 16 year old male patient.
