Abstract |
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumors (AOT) make up 3% of odontogenic tumors. This tumor, most commonly found in the maxillary arch, mimics a follicular cyst associated with an impacted tooth. This is a case report of an AOT found in a 14-year-old female undergoing active orthodontic therapy. The surgical removal of the lesion resulted in the exposure of a large bony cavity surrounding the maxillary left canine. Placement of freeze-dried bone and coverage with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane resulted in rapid and complete healing of the lesion and restoration of osseous support.
