Case report: two nasal floor compound odontomas associated with impacted maxillary incisor

P Cozza et al. Eur J Paediatr Dent. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this report is to describe the logical sequence of treatment in a case of a six year old caucasian female patient with two nasal floor compound odontomas, that delayed eruption of a maxillary permanent incisor.

Treatment: The odontomas were surgically removed. However, as the maxillary incisor did not erupt spontaneously, after a suitable period of observation, an orthodontic treatment approach was adopted. This was to obtain an adequate space for the unerupted tooth and to move it to its normal position.

Conclusion: Early diagnosis and surgical intervention of supernumeraries is therefore necessary and treatment of an impacted tooth may require an orthodontic appliance.
