ABSTRACT
Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumor and are generally asymptomatic. The purpose of this paper was to describe the case of a complex odontoma in a patient who had asymptomatic swelling in the central maxillary region, along with unerupted central and lateral incisors. In this case, surgical excision of the lesion was performed and an iliac bone graft was introduced into the defect area with a titanium mesh covering up the grafted harvesting bone. After 2 years of followup, no recurrence was identified. Patient followup is still in progress to evaluate bone graft resorption, and the patient awaits complete bone development. Oral rehabilitation with an osseointegrated titanium implant is expected in the future. An option of the large complex odontoma treatment is discussed.
