Sažetak
Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumors formed from epithelial and mesenchymal
cells. They are mostly associated with disorders of tooth eruption, causing impaction and/or
delayed tooth eruption, and are an accidental finding on routine radiological examination. The aim of
this paper is to present current findings in the etiology and treatment of odontomas, as well as the
clinical and radiographic features, describing a case that is rarely found in the literature. A case of
multiple complex odontoma in the mandible of an 11-year-old boy is presented, causing impaction of
the first permanent right molar, 46. The treatment consisted of surgical enucleation of the multiple
complex odontoma with preservation of the impacted tooth, monitoring clinically and radiologically
its spontaneous eruption followed by final orthodontic alignment. Odontomas are not an everyday
part of clinical practice and given that they are most commonly associated with permanent tooth
impaction, it is extremely important to have knowledge of their clinical and radiological features.
Early diagnostics and appropriate treatment result in better diagnosis, thus increasing the possibility
of preserving the impacted teeth.
