Odontoma Treatment in Calicut: Rare Case of 44 Extra Teeth
A rare and complex dental condition known as compound odontoma was recently diagnosed and successfully treated at KNP Dental – Advanced Perio & Implant Centre, Calicut. The patient was a 24-year-old female who presented with unusual dental findings that required detailed evaluation and expert care.
What Is an Odontoma?
An odontoma is a benign (non-cancerous) odontogenic tumor composed of dental tissues such as enamel, dentin, and pulp. It is considered a developmental anomaly rather than a true tumor and can interfere with the normal eruption of teeth if left untreated.
Case Highlights: 44 Extra Tooth-Like Structures
Clinical and radiographic investigations revealed an exceptionally rare finding — the presence of 44 tooth-like structures embedded within the jaw. These impacted structures were associated with a compound odontoma, making the case both unique and surgically challenging.
