1/69. Delayed eruption of maxillary primary cuspid associated with compound odontoma.Impaction of primary teeth is very rare especially in the maxillary anterior teeth. A four-year-old male child with the complaint of delayed eruption of right maxillary primary cuspid due to the presence of odontoma is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = odontoma, compound (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/69. Odontoameloblastoma: report of a case.Odontoameloblastoma is a very rare odontogenic tumour that is similar to ameloblastoma in its locally aggressive behaviour. Its clinical presentation, however, often mimics the more innocuous odontoma, and hence the recognition of its aggressive nature is commonly only ascertained after its histopathologic diagnosis following enucleation. This paper presents a case of odontoameloblastoma. Some of the difficulties that may be encountered in the diagnosis and treatment planning of odontoameloblastomas are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.19999075978355keywords = odontoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/69. Compound composite odontoma in primary dentition--a case report.Compound composite odontoma, is a tumor formed by the overgrowth of transitory or complete dental tissue, made up of one or more rudimentary teeth. Although odontomes are considered to be quite common of odontogenic tumors, these rarely occur solely in primary dentition. This paper is a report of case of a compound composite odontoma, five year old child who presented to the Department of Pedodontics and preventive dentistry, College of Dental Surgery, Manipal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1999561089719keywords = odontoma, compound (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/69. Desmoplastic ameloblastoma: a case report with fine-needle aspiration cytologic findings.A case of desmoplastic ameloblastoma of the maxilla in a 25-yr-old woman is presented. Smears prepared from fine-needle aspiration cytology showed two populations of cellular elements: cohesive epithelial clusters with basaloid morphology present, mostly in bidimensional, irregularly outlined clusters with ill-formed palisading of nuclei at the periphery in some, and a mesenchymal component represented by 1) a sparse chunk of moderate-sized tissue fragments made up of spindle- or ovoid-shaped nuclei entrapped in mesenchymal matrix, and 2) many dissociated naked oval-to-spindle-shaped nuclei. The presence of epithelial and mesenchymal components and their benign nature lead us to consider the possibility of benign odontogenic tumors 1) of epithelial origin, such as ameloblastma with a stromal component, e.g., desmoplastic ameloblastoma; 2) of mesenchymal origin, such as odontogenic fibroma; and 3) of mixed epithelial and mesenchymal origin, such as ameloblastic fibroma. Excision and histopathological examination of this lesion confirmed the diagnosis of desmoplastic ameloblastoma. In the given clinical setting and radiological examination, the above cytological features suggest a benign odontogenic tumor, rather than precisely diagnosing any of the entities mentioned above. However, it is important to distinguish between these, since the treatment varies accordingly. The differential diagnosis is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.045860233493219keywords = ameloblastic (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/69. ameloblastoma of the jaws.ameloblastoma is a histologically benign tumor derived from odontogenic apparatus. The tumor can infiltrate into surrounding tissues. Although it is benign, it presents symptoms of a malignant tumor, such as infiltration into the lungs, pleura, regional and distant metastases, orbit, base of skull, brain and has resulted in death. It also has a high incidence of recurrences, the existence of regional or distant metastasis, showing a microscopic pattern of ameloblastic carcinoma with cytologic features of an increasing nuclear/cytoplastic ratio, nuclear hyperchromatism, and the presence of mitosis. We report a study of 12 patients of ameloblastoma of the jaws between January 1992 and December 1996 consisting of 8 affected in the mandible and 4 in the maxilla. One patient with a tumor in the maxilla was excluded from this study, due to a different histological and clinical behaviour of the ameloblastoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.045860233493219keywords = ameloblastic (Clic here for more details about this article) |

7/69. A case report of a compound odontoma causing delayed eruption of a central maxillary incisor: clinical and microscopic evaluation.A case of a compound odontoma caused delayed eruption of a central incisor in the maxilla is presented with clinical, radiographic, and microscopic findings. The odontoma was surgically removed and microscopic examination showed a lot of crown-like structures in a very irregular form, some of which were fused to each other at their apical parts. Enamel and pre-enamel were totally abnormal, whereas the inside of the pulp chamber tissue did not present any histological sign of functional tissue. The most homogeneous tissue was dentin. The removal of the odontoma was followed by a rapid eruption of the impacted central incisor.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3999930698377keywords = odontoma, compound (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/69. Compound odontoma--diagnosis and treatment: three case reports.Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors and generally they are asymptomatic. This paper describes three cases of compound odontomas diagnosed in children due to dislodgement or over-retention of primary anterior teeth and/or swelling of the cortical bone. In all cases, the surgical excision of the lesions was performed and, in one case, orthodontic treatment was adopted 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.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1999561089719keywords = odontoma, compound (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/69. Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma.Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a benign, mixed odontogenic tumor most commonly encountered in the mandible of children or teenagers. Treatment of AFO is conservative and requires a long-term follow-up. Although some authors believe that ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, and odontomas are extensions of the same disease process, they should be regarded as separate disease entities.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.8137765415243keywords = odontoma, fibro-odontoma, ameloblastic (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/69. Recurrent infection of a complex odontoma following eruption in the mouth.Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors, and are classified as either compound or complex lesions. Although its underlying etiology remains unclear, a number of factors appear to be involved (e.g., prior trauma). The lesions are generally diagnosed in the second decade of life, often in the context of routine dental X-ray examinations. A complex odontoma is described in a 22-year-old woman referring discomfort due to overinfection following its aperture into the oral cavity in the distal alveolar region of 2.6. Initial treatment consisted of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs. Computed axial tomography revealed a solid, irregular mass in the distal zone of the left maxilla, imprinting upon the region of the maxillary sinus on the same side. Surgical resection was performed, raising the alveolar mucosa and upper left vestibular fundus. The surgical piece contained the amorphous adenoma mass and the tooth 2.7.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.99996534918831keywords = odontoma, compound (Clic here for more details about this article) |
