Abstract

Odontomas are developmental disturbances which manifest in the form of denticles or amorphous informes masses comprising all dental tissues, especially enamel and dentin, with variable amounts of pulp and cement. We describe here two clinical cases of odontomas in children, focusing on diagnos-tic means and the importance of early treatment of these lesions. The standard treatment for the two present cases was surgical removal.
