“…Among them, eight were categorized as DO [1,[4][5][6][7][8][9]. Pain or swelling related to a local periapical infection are the main causes of DO discovery, as illustrated in 12 out of the 16 cases [3,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Indeed, one of the most significant clinical concern of DI is the risk of developing pulpal necrosis.…”

Introduction: Dilated odontoma is the most severe form of a dens invaginatus, which is a rare dental malformation resulting from an invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla before calcification occurs. Observation: A healthy 7-years-old girl was referred to the oral surgery department to remove an impacted odontoma causing a delayed dental eruption of the right mandibular lateral incisor (tooth 42). The patient was painless and a lingual osseous swelling was observed. A computed tomography and a 3D segmentation revealed a shell-shaped mass in the position of the right mandibular lateral incisor, showing a complex anatomy. Surgical excision was carried out under general anesthesia. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of DO. Discussion and conclusion: We performed a literature review investigating 16 cases of severe forms of dens invaginatus which required extraction. It highlighted the atypical aspect of our case and the importance of 3D imaging and segmentation in contributing to the accurate diagnosis and treatment of this dental malformation.

Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic features of unerupted odontomas of the jaws. Material and Method:A total of 23 odontomas detected in 21 patients were included in our study. The lesions diagnosed on panoramic radiographs were further evaluated with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Patients' age, gender, clinical symptoms, localization, type, presence of supernumerary tooth with odontoma, position (buccal, palatinal, between teeth), distance to crown/ root, distance to cortical plate, any complications due to odotoma or treatment method were evaluated.Results: Twenty-three odontomas were evaluated using CBCT. Fifteen lesions located in the maxilla whereas 8 lesions located in the mandible. The closest distance of the odontoma to the neighbouring crown/root varied between 0 to 4.5 mm with a mean of 1.3 mm. The closest distance of the odontoma to the buccal/palatal/lingual cortical layer varied between 0 to 4.6 mm with a mean of 1.8 mm. Associated impacted permanent teeth were left to erupt spontaneously or orthodontic traction was started at the same time or at a later stage. Seven of the impacted teeth were orthodontically tracked during surgery and 1 tooth was orthodontically tracked at a later stage. 2 teeth were extracted during surgery and 2 teeth were left to erupt spontaneously. Conclusion:Odontomas mostly located close to adjacent cortex; therefore, practitioners will not have difficulty in exploring the lesion. However; close proximity to associated tooth may result in tooth or root damage during surgical removal. We recommend CBCT evaluation for accurate surgical planning before removal of odontomas.

The term 'odontoma' was first used in 1866 by Broca who defined it as a tumor formed by the overgrowth of complete dental tissue and in 1946 it was classified by Thoma and Goldman. 1 Odontomas, which are considered developmental anomalies (hamartomas) rather than true neoplasms are the most common benign odontogenic tumors and composed of enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Various theories have been suggested for etiology of odontomas: local trauma in primary dentition duration, infectious and/or inflammatory processes, hereditary abnormalities, and any alteration in genetic structures that can affect the tooth development. 2 Odontomas are the most frequently observed, non-cystic, non-aggressive, usually asymptomatic, odontogenic benign lesions, and among the odontogenic tumors their incidence ranges between 22-67%. 3 According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification in 2017, based upon its radiographic, histopathologic, and clinical features, there are two types of odontoma: complex odontoma (CxOD) and compound odontoma (CpOD). 4 CpOD present organized dental tissues and might contain tooth-like structures that are named denticles. On the contrary, CxOD is consists of all dental tissues that arrange randomly. 5 Their detection is usually in the early years of life, between the ages of 6 and 46, and the mean is 23 years old.4 The sex predilection is controversial; in some studies CpOD reported more common in males, and CxOD slightly more common in females.5 Dilated odontoma represented as a dilatation of the crown and root that cause of a deep enamel-lined invagination and it is a very rare developmental abnormality.6 Although it has been described as another type of odontoma by some authors, it was not described as a private asset in the
