Case description

The surgical approach to removing an odontoma from the upper left side of the maxilla is illustrated in this video. An odontoma is a benign tumor originating from the dental tissues. They come in two variations: Complex and compound (this one). The complex will usually present as one mass of tissue, whereas the compound (this one) will show multiple smaller tooth like structures.

Video by Prof. Anders Nattestad at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco.
