Odontoma, impacted tooth, maxilla, cone beam computed tomographyAbstract
Odontomas are tumors of odontogenic origin, made up of epithelial and mesenchymal cells completely differentiated f rom dental tissues. Radiographically, the composite odontoma is characterized by multiple irregular radiopaque structures that vary in size and shape, called denticles because of their similarity to teeth; unilocular, separated from the bone by a well-defined cortex and due to their location can cause retention of primary teeth and/or impaction of the permanent ones. They generally appear as single or multiple lesions found on routine radiographic examination. This report describes the case of a nine-year-old patient with a compound odontoma located in the anterior region of the maxilla, evaluated through cone beam computed tomography, which allowed its location and support to the clinician for his therapeutic decision.
