Abstract

A 10-year-old white male patient was referred to the clinic because of absence of tooth 37. Extraoral examination was irrelevant. Intraoral examination showed absence of tooth 37 and the left inferior retromolar region covered by normal mucosa with normal bone contour. Cone beam computed tomography revealed unilocular hypodense image with hyperdense margin and hyperdense foci inside, between the unerupted teeth 36 and 37, which was displaced. Diagnostic hypothesis was odontoma. Treatment consisted of lesion excision under local anesthesia, and tooth 37 has been maintained. The histopathologic report confirmed the final diagnosis of ameloblastic fibrodentinoma. The patient is under follow-up without relapse.
