odontoma

Treatment for both compound and complex odontoma is removal by an oral surgeon.

The odontoma is a hamartoma of odontogenic origin.

Complex odontoma (a disorganized mass of dental tissue)

The average age of people found with an odontoma is 14, and the condition is frequently associated with an unerupted tooth.

It was previously described as an adenoid adamtoblastoma, unusual ameloblastoma and a cystic odontoma.

This syndrome is characterized by clustering of teeth (compound odontoma, dysplasia and aplasia of teeth), slight craniofacial abnormalities, and dysphagia.

A compound odontoma still has the three separate dental tissues (enamel, dentin and cementum), but may present a lobulated appearance where there is no definitive demarcation of separate tissues between the individual "toothlets".
