Abstract

Introduction: compound odontoma is a benign tumor lesion that can be associated with alterations in the eruption or retention of teeth, revealed through routine radiographic images.

Objective: to report the clinical management of a 10-year-old female patient with a compound odontoma.

Case presentation: complementary studies such as panoramic radiography and computed axial tomography were performed prior to surgical treatment. The imaging examination revealed the presence of a radiolucent mixed lesion with radiopaque areas inside which resemble teeth, delimited, with a radiolucent edge. The presence of the retained upper left canine close to the edge of the lesion was also confirmed. Timely diagnosis was essential and enucleation was optimal; in addition, the patient had a good postoperative evolution. 

Conclusions: early diagnosis of the lesion is of utmost importance to carry out successful treatment in enucleation and intercept dental retentions in an early period.
