Complex Odontomes: Report of two Cases

Abstract

Odontomes have been said to be the commonest odontogenic tumours. However, they are poorly documented in this environment. We reported two cases of large complex odontomes to highlight the clinical features, radiologic appearance and surgical management. A case is made for the use of intravenous sedation and need to simplify surgical techniques to accommodate teaming poor patients. Literature regarding the subject has been briefly reviewed.
