Odontoma: estado da arte e relato de caso clínico

Odontoma refers itself to tumors from odontogenic origin. The etiology involves development disturbances, traumatic injuries and infections. Although the growth is slow and usually non symptomatic, complications from esthetical and functional order can happen. Odontoma can be classified as complex and compound, and its treatment involves conservative surgical removal with posterior histopathologic examination. This article makes a revision of the literature and presents a clinical case of a complex odontoma surgically treated in the jaw.
