Compound odontoma is stated to be a hamartomatous lesion rather than a true odontogenic tumour. It has an unknown etiology and often suspected when there are retained deciduous teeth in children. Early detection and surgical enucleation of the tumour is recommended to prevent impaction of unerupted teeth. In this index case, multiple denticles or rudimentary teeth, numbering 37 were enucleated from the maxillary anterior region of a 17-year old male, which makes this case unusual. Evidence of concrescence, fusion and dilaceration were observed in the denticles enucleated, the size of which varied from 4 mm to 12.5 mm.
复合性牙瘤被认为是一种错构瘤性病变，而非真正的牙源性肿瘤。其病因不明，在儿童乳牙滞留时常常受到怀疑。建议早期发现并手术摘除肿瘤，以防止恒牙阻生。在本索引病例中，从一名17岁男性的上颌前部区域摘除了37个多生牙或发育不全的牙齿，这使得该病例不同寻常。在所摘除的多生牙中观察到了牙骨质结合、融合和牙根弯曲的迹象，其大小从4毫米到12.5毫米不等。
