What is a complex tooth tumor?

A dental tumor is a dental excess of tissue that grows abnormally at one point. A complex dentin is a contrast-enhanced area of ​​varying densities, usually occurring posteriorly to the upper or lower jaw.

According to dentists, there are two types of dental tumours, which are composite dental tumors and complex dental tumors. Composite dentin is understood as a condition in which the tooth still has 3 separate tooth tissues, namely enamel, dentin and bone, which can appear lobes, where there is no separate tissue between the small teeth. The condition of multifocal dentition usually occurs in the upper jaw.
As for the situation of complex dental tumor as an area of ​​contrast with different density, usually appearing in the back of the upper or lower jaw.
In addition to the above-mentioned complex and composite odontomas, dilated odontomas are also an infrequent growth that can occur in any area of ​​the dental arch and can cause significant morbidity. affects baby teeth, permanent teeth and supernumerary teeth. Intradental eruption is one of the abnormalities that develop from the retraction of the arch formed in the enamel organ. The most serious form is the condition where the teeth erupt in the teeth, causing dilatation of the cysts.

Dentist said, benign tooth tumor develops due to infection or trauma related to the previous oral area. Genetic mutations or heredity are also a cause of dental tumours. Specifically, hereditary Gardner syndrome can cause a number of tumors in the body, including dental tumors.

Many symptoms in the mouth warn of a benign tooth tumor but are often ignored or misdiagnosed by us. Symptoms of complex dental tumors such as:
Difficulty swallowing. The appearance of a tumor in the gums is mistaken for wisdom teeth or the influence of wisdom teeth. In addition, if the bones underneath the tooth expand, the dentist will diagnose it as a sign of a tooth tumor. Therefore, regular dental checkups and examinations will help support early diagnosis of tooth tumors as possible.

Depending on each case and the specific condition of the tooth tumor, during the examination, the doctor will advise and prescribe the most appropriate and effective treatment for the tooth tumor.
In order to accurately diagnose complex or multiple dental tumors, the patient needs to have a dental X-ray. In addition, conditions that delay teething or are due to a lack of a tooth require a closer examination by the dentist to be able to conclude a tooth tumor. Determining the exact type of tumor will help the doctor direct the appropriate treatment from the beginning.
By histological diagnosis, the doctor will know the histology of the tooth tumor, because the complex odontoma has no specific sequence of dental tissue and does not resemble the normal tooth structure. Complex dentin is a tubular dentin containing a circular void of calcium loss. The edges may have a thin layer of bone that forms a tissue-like capsule around the tumor.
With CT scan method, the doctor will see the image inside the tumor before deciding to proceed with surgical removal. In some cases, complex dental tumors can progress to the nasal cavity, the patient will need to take more X-rays and perform related tests to have the most effective treatment.
Usually, to treat a tooth tumor, surgery will be an effective method. If the tooth tumor is benign, the surgical procedure is simple and the recovery time is quite fast. In some cases, complex dental tumors can leave complications after surgery. Therefore, during and after the treatment of tooth tumors, patients need to follow the instructions as well as have regular checkups according to the doctor's appointment schedule.
