Timing of Surgical Removal of Odontoma in a Growing Orthodontic Patient: A Case Report.

Abstract

In patients with skeletal malocclusion and odontoma, the prioritization of treatment is ofgreat importance. Ifsurgical removal of odontoma is postponed, the probability of adjacent teeth impaction increases. In this case, skeletal treatment was performed before odontoma rgery due to concerns about facial appearance and the patient's fear of surgery, and therefore adjacent tooth failed to erupt.
