Odontomas are the most common benign odontogenic tumors (especially in children and adolescents) and consist of odontogenic ectomesenchyma and odontogenic epithelium with the formation of dental hard tissues. They are also simply considered hamartomas. The WHO Classification defines them as complex and compound odontomas. The diagnosis is often occasional, in conjunction with x-ray routine examinations, or it is suggested by eruption disorders or abnormal position of teeth in the dental arch. The mainstay therapy is surgical excision of the lesion followed by orthodontic treatment to take in the arch the impacted teeth.
The aim of this work is the presentation of a case of mandibular bilateral compound odontoma in a young patient, and the confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis of the surgical specimens.
牙瘤是最常见的良性牙源性肿瘤（尤其是在儿童和青少年中），由牙源性外胚间充质和牙源性上皮组成，并形成牙硬组织。它们也被简单地认为是错构瘤。世界卫生组织分类将它们定义为复杂型和复合型牙瘤。诊断通常是偶然的，与常规X线检查有关，或者由萌出障碍或牙弓中牙齿位置异常提示。主要治疗方法是手术切除病变，然后进行正畸治疗以将阻生牙纳入牙弓。
本研究的目的是介绍一名年轻患者下颌双侧复合型牙瘤的病例，并对手术标本进行共聚焦激光扫描显微镜分析。
