UNASSIGNED: Odontomas are common odontogenic lesions that are frequently discovered during examinations for delayed tooth eruption. There are two distinct classifications for odontomas-compound odontomas and complex odontomas. With its own each set of characteristics. A timely diagnosis is critical for avoiding complications.
UNASSIGNED: A male individual aged 15 years exhibited an expansive compound-complex odontoma located in the anterior maxilla. The clinical examination showed delayed tooth eruption and asymptomatic swelling. The radiographic images showed a radiopaque mass with tooth-like structures and radiolucent borders affecting the surrounding dentition. A surgical excision procedure was conducted, followed by a subsequent histopathological examination confirming the diagnosis of compound-complex odontoma. The patient continued orthodontic treatment after a 1-year follow-up without recurrence.
UNASSIGNED: This case emphasizes the importance of regular dental exams in detecting odontomas early. This observation also highlights the growing understanding of odontomas as hamartomatous odontogenic malformations and the challenges of diagnosing them clinically. Additional molecular investigations are required to facilitate the classification and elucidation of genetic factors.

牙瘤是常见的牙源性病变,在检查延迟的牙齿萌出时经常发现。牙瘤-复合牙瘤和复杂牙瘤有两种不同的分类。每一套都有自己的特点。及时诊断对于避免并发症至关重要。
■一名15岁的男性表现出位于上颌骨前的扩张性复合牙瘤。临床检查显示延迟的牙齿萌出和无症状的肿胀。射线照相图像显示不透射线的团块,具有齿状结构和射线可透边界,影响周围的牙列。进行了手术切除,随后进行组织病理学检查,确认诊断为复合牙瘤。随访1年后,患者继续正畸治疗,无复发。
■此案例强调了定期牙科检查在早期发现牙瘤中的重要性。这一观察结果还强调了对牙瘤作为错构瘤性牙源性畸形的日益理解以及临床诊断它们的挑战。需要额外的分子研究来促进遗传因素的分类和阐明。
