BEYOND SIMPLE LESIONS: A DETAILED EXPLORATION OF COMPLEX ODONTOMAS

Background: Complex odontomas are common benign odontogenic tumors, resembling hamartomas, characterized by disorganized masses of dental tissues such as enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. This study invest Objective: igated variations in the the clinicoradiological manifestations, diagnostic advancements, and management strategies of complex odontomas, emphasizing their impact on dental and maxillofacial development. We analysed three cases of comple Methods: x odontomas, employing advanced diagnostic imaging techniques (CBCT and OPG) and excisional biopsies for definitive diagnosis. Histopathological evaluations confirmed the presence of disorganized dental tissues typical of these lesions. The cases highlighte Results: d diverse clinical manifestations, including swelling, pain, and tooth retention, impacting tooth eruption patterns & rare manifestations of odontoma in the left ramus region, extention of odontoma into right maxillary antrum & odontoma completely encircling the crow of an impacted tooth 36. Histopathological findings confirmed complex odontomas with disorganized tissue architecture. Advanced imaging facilitated precise surgical interventions, enhancing treatment outcomes. Complex odontomas can significantly affect oral health by disrupting no Conclusion: rmal dental development. Early and accurate diagnosis, followed by appropriate surgical management, is crucial to prevent potential complications. This study underscores the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach and the benefits of current imaging and surgical techniques in managing these lesions.
