Sažetak
The paper describes an example of an unusually large, complex odontoma in the mandibular angle of a 23 year-old young man. Because of the possibility of fracture occurring in the mandible during the operation a two-stage surgical procedure was applied, which proved successful and was acceptable for the patient. The authors cite data from the literature, showing other possible surgical procedures in similar cases and discussing their advantages and disadvantages, leaving the reader to decide on the justification of all applied surgical procedures to date.
