Robotic‐Assisted Localization and Extraction of Compound Odontoma: A Case Report

ABSTRACT Odontomas, classified as hamartomas rather than true neoplasms, are the most common type of odontogenic tumors. These lesions are typically asymptomatic, show no gender predilection, and are often detected incidentally through routine radiological examinations. Complete surgical resection is the gold standard for odontoma treatment. Traditional approaches are limited by surgeon‐dependent precision, while digital guide plate‐assisted surgery has fixed procedural constraints. This study reports the first clinical application of a semi‐active oral robotic surgical system for the minimally invasive resection of a compound odontoma embedded in the alveolar bone of the left mandibular body between the mandibular left canine (tooth 33) and first premolar (tooth 34) in a 15‐year‐old female patient. Preoperative planning was completed with high‐resolution CBCT and dedicated robotic navigation software. The odontoma was completely removed without damage to adjacent teeth. The recovery was uneventful, and a 6‐month follow‐up showed excellent bone healing with no residual lesion. The use of oral robots for odontoma extraction enables precise positioning and minimally invasive removal, offering a promising approach for the treatment of these tumors.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Odontomas, classified as hamartomas rather than true neoplasms, are the most common type of odontogenic tumors. These lesions are typically asymptomatic, show no gender predilection, and are often detected incidentally through routine radiological examinations. Complete surgical resection is the gold standard for odontoma treatment. Traditional approaches are limited by surgeon‐dependent precision, while digital guide plate‐assisted surgery has fixed procedural constraints. This study reports the first clinical application of a semi‐active oral robotic surgical system for the minimally invasive resection of a compound odontoma embedded in the alveolar bone of the left mandibular body between the mandibular left canine (tooth 33) and first premolar (tooth 34) in a 15‐year‐old female patient. Preoperative planning was completed with high‐resolution CBCT and dedicated robotic navigation software. The odontoma was completely removed without damage to adjacent teeth. The recovery was uneventful, and a 6‐month follow‐up showed excellent bone healing with no residual lesion. The use of oral robots for odontoma extraction enables precise positioning and minimally invasive removal, offering a promising approach for the treatment of these tumors.
