Abstract

Odontomas are odontogenic tumors in which complete functional discrepancy of ameloblasts or odontoblasts occur with the development of enamel and dentine in an irregular arrangement due to lack of association of these cells to reach usual state of morphodifferentiation. Multiple hybrid odontomas present as many complex or compound odontomas involving one to all four quadrants of jaws. this present case is of a female aged 12 years who presented with mild pain and swelling in the right body of mandible for 1 year. After initial clinical and radiographic assessment, a tentative diagnosis of multiple hybrid odontomas involving all four quadrants of jaws was made. Surgical excision of the lesion which was causing facial deformity was performed. Excisional biopsy report verified the clinical diagnosis. This case report describes the first unique case of multiple hybrid odontomas involving all four quadrants of jaws presented in last five years' literature.
