Abstract
Odontomas are the most common tumor-like (hamartoma) odontogenic lesions in the gnathic bones. Multiple odontomas are rare and characterized by numerous odontomas involving 1 to 4 quadrants of the gnathic bones. We report the case of a 16-year-old female patient without noteworthy extra- and intraoral physical examination alterations. Panoramic radiography revealed a well-delimited, unilocular, bilateral radiolucent lesion in the ascending ramus of the mandible. An incisional biopsy was performed, which revealed a developing complex odontoma at both sites. The treatment of choice was enucleation, followed by curettage of the bone defect. The removed material was sent for anatomopathologic analysis, which confirmed the diagnosis of complex odontoma. The patient has been in follow-up for 10 months and shows no signs or symptoms of recurrence.
