The term “odontoma” was introduced in the second half of the 19th century by Paul Broca. Broca defined it as a tumour resulting from the overgrowth of transitional or complete dental tissue. Odontomas are classified as developmental anomalies rather than true neoplasms. These benign lesions develop from epithelial and mesenchymal elements of the dental apparatus and are composed of enamel, dentine, cementum and pulp. As they rarely cause symptoms, they are chance findings typically detected on radiographs. The exact aetiology of odontomas remains unclear. However, some studies suggest that they may develop following local trauma, inflammation, or chronic infections occurring during odontogenesis. Odontogenic tumours have a reported prevalence of 0.002–0.1%, with compound odontomas being the most frequently diagnosed type. This condition is relatively rare and is often associated with impacted teeth. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment help minimize the risk of complications. The treatment of choice is the surgical removal of the lesion. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for tooth impaction associated with an odontoma.
