Resumen

Objective: The main goals of this report were to describe the surgical procedure and a three-year clinical/radiographic follow-up of a child with compound or combined odontoma. Discussion: In the majority of cases, diagnoses of odontoma are made during the development and eruption of permanent dentition, at the time when the patient is providing the documentation for having orthodontic and/or orthopedic treatment performed. In this case, the diagnosis and treatment were established earlier, before the patient entered the first stage of mixed dentition. This procedure favored normal development of permanent teeth in the maxillary anterior region preventing aesthetic, occlusion and phonation problems. Conclusion: The surgical removal of an odontoma diagnosed early (still in primary dentition), after careful clinical and radiographic analysis of the location, stage of formation and position of the teeth, is an approach which, in the majority of cases, favors eruption and alignment of permanent teeth.
