Abstract

Aim

This article aimed to report the case of a complex odontoma interfering with tooth eruption.

Background

A common local factor causing tooth impaction or interfering with eruption of teeth is odontoma.

Case report

This case report represented a case of complex odontoma in a girl child overlying the crown of first permanent molar, which involved dental follicle and seemed to be interfering with tooth eruption. Surgical removal was done and follow-up was scheduled to control tooth eruption.

Conclusion

Odontoma as a local factor potentially interfering with tooth eruption can be resolved if it is detected early.

Clinical significance

A routine radiographic survey with panoramic images in mixed dentition period and clinical oral examination would be useful to early detection of tooth eruption problems.
