Objectives: To determine the frequency of odontomas through digital panoramic radiographs in pediatric pa-tients treated at the Dental Teaching Assistance Center of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia during the period 2015-2018.Material and methods: The present study is descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective with a total of 2707 digital panoramic radiographs of pediatric patients from 3 to 17 years old taken at the Dental Teaching Assistance Center of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia during the period 2015 - 2018. Results: A total of 34 odontomas (1.26%) were found, of which 53.60% (n = 20) were female and 46.40% (n = 14) were male, The most frequent condition according dental age was in the permanent dentition with 41.18%(n = 14). The compound odontoma was the most frequent entity with 52.94% (n = 18), and both entities were located in the anterior superior anatom...

Compound odontoma is a rare pathology and represents 1.3% of all odontogenic tumors. Its etiology is multifactorial and is attributed mainly to some theories. Also to trauma and genetic factors, etc. Treatment is the enucleation of the entity. The present case is of a 7-year-old male patient who attended the Teaching Dental Center of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima - Peru, presenting the absence of tooth 63 and a tumor in the anterosuperior area on the left side. Imaging examinations such as periapical and panoramic radiographs and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) were performed; subsequently, the odontogenic tumor was enucleated and tooth 63 was extracted; the presumptive diagnosis was confirmed by the pathological anatomical examination as a compound odontoma. Knowledge of the normal characteristics of the oral cavity and the chronology of tooth eruption can lead to ...

Objective: To evaluate of characteristics of dental transposition in digital panoramic radiographs of pediatric patients. Methods: A transversal, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out with 2386 digital panoramic radiographs of patients who are among 6 and 17, attended at Cayetano Heredia University dental center from 2015 to 2018. Results: The dental transposition frequency was 0.96%, of which 52.17% were female and the complete den­tal transpositions were 96.55%. According to the localization in the right-upper quadrant represents 51.72% and left-upper quadrant represents 48.28%. The premolar maxillary canines’ transpositions are most usual and represents 82.76%. Conclusions: The dental transposition frequency was low, the complete dental transposition was more common, and they were located on the upper maxilla with a predilection on the right side. The canine tooth and...
