Odontomas are familiar entities but their eruption into the oral cavity is an extraordinary occurrence, which may be associated with pain, infection, malocclusion, etc. Not many cases of erupted odontomas have been reported in the literature. This paper puts forth a case of erupting odontoma in an attempt to add to the list of reported cases of this unique pathology.
牙瘤是常见的病变,但它们萌出于口腔实属罕见,可能伴有疼痛、感染、错牙合畸形等。文献中报道的萌出牙瘤病例并不多。本文提出一例萌出牙瘤病例,以期增加这种独特病理情况的报告病例数。
