| Abstract | ||
| Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the role of routine radiological studies (panoramic radiographs) in diagnostic the types and localization of the odontomas in Iraqi subjects. Materials and Methods: The study retrospectively investigated 30 odontomas in thirty patients (23 female and 7 male). The study was performed using medical records, panoramic radiographs, and pathological reports. The patients’ data gathered in this study included their age, gender, location, chief complaints at presentation. Results: Compound odontomas were two times more common than complex odontomas. Most odontomas were found in the second decade of life and in posterior mandible for complex while anterior maxilla for compound odontomas. Conclusion: It would be suggested that periodic panoramic examination during the first and second decade of life might be beneficial for the early detection and better prognosis for odontomas. | ||
