Developmental Anomaly to Esthetic Rehabilitation: Surgical Management of Compound Odontoma Associated with an Impacted successor in an Adult Patient.

Abstract Introduction: Compound odontoma is a developmental odontogenic hamartoma characterized by the formation of multiple miniature tooth-like structures.1,4 These lesions are commonly identified during childhood because they interfere with the eruption of permanent teeth. However, they may occasionally remain undetected until adulthood and present with aesthetic or occlusal concerns. This report describes the diagnosis and management of a compound odontoma associated with an impacted central incisor in an adult female.
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old female presented with the complaint of irregular upper front teeth caused by a mismatched tooth size that had persisted for nearly ten years. Clinical examination revealed retained primary tooth without any associated pain or swelling. Panoramic radiography demonstrated multiple tooth-like radiopaque structures along with an impacted permanent tooth in the anterior maxilla. Surgical removal of the lesion and the impacted supernumerary tooth was carried out successfully under local anaesthesia. Healing was uneventful, and the patient was subsequently referred for orthodontic correction.
Conclusion: Although compound odontomas are usually diagnosed in younger individuals, they may remain asymptomatic until adulthood. Careful clinical examination combined with appropriate radiographic investigation is essential for accurate diagnosis. Surgical removal followed by orthodontic rehabilitation provides predictable functional and esthetic outcomes.
