Regional odontodysplasia with facial cellulitis: a case report and literature review

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2024.2023247

Abstract

Abstract:

Regional odontodysplasia (ROD) is a localized developmental anomaly involving deciduous and permanent dentition, with a significant impact on patients. The affected teeth display unique ghost-like radiological characteristics, clinically manifesting as delayed tooth eruption, abnormal tooth morphology, and recurrent swelling of gingiva. In this paper, we report a case of a 2-year-old patient with ROD whose chief complaint was facial cellulitis. We analyze the medical history, clinical examination, radiographic findings, and histologic findings, and review the pathological features, pathogenesis, multidisciplinary diagnosis, and treatment of ROD. This rare case, which offers clinical samples for its further study, can provide a deeper study of ROD.

Key words: regional odontodysplasia, facial cellulitis, ghost-like tooth
