ABSTRACT

The term 'Dilated Odontoma' is a malformation which most frequently occurs in the deciduous, permanent or supernumerary teeth. It can be diagnosed with deep invagination of the enamel inside the crown or root. In other words, the most extreme form of dens in the dente is known as "dilated odontoma". Although dilated odontomas are usually asymptomatic, their eruption into the mouth can give rise to pain, inflammation, and infection. This report is an attempt to describe the case of a 22-year-old female presenting with bilateral cystic lesions associated with erupted dilated odontomas of the maxilla. The patient had no history of pain but she complained about a recurrent swelling which she was suffering from for about two years. Conventional radiographs showed bilateral cystic lesions associated with dilated odontomas. The findings were also confirmed by Dent Scan. The treatment plan consisted of surgical removal of the lesions, followed by histopathologic study in order to confirm the initial diagnosis
