case_images: But a bump on the lingual surface in the mandibular region, a lingo version and rotation of 80 degrees of the lower right lateral incisor 42 and persistence of the left lower central incisor 71, were observed (Figure 1).

case_images: Therapeutic interventions: under local anesthesia, we have carried out the extraction of the 71, after that we started the eviction surgery of the odontoma, we tried to undertook a minimally invasive surgical removal, for that we started first with an incision and a detachment using a surgical stripper, after that an osteotomy using a bone burr, finally, after bone eviction we were able to materialize our odontomas and had started the harvest (Figure 3).

case_images: Before sutures, we did an X-ray control and found one last odontoma at the bottom, but since the patient was uncooperative, we could not extract it (Figure 5).

case_images: We took an X-ray, on our radiograph it turned out that it was the last odontoma that we had not been able to extract, but it evolved and grew in size (Figure 6).

case_images: The decision to extract the odontoma was taken, moreover we were able to materialize the presence of the 31 in the process of eruption and since it presented the last obstacle before the eruption of the 31, we had performed the extraction of the last odontoma (Figure 7). Patient perspective: though dentition improvement was expected and the 31 was about to erupt (Figure 7).
