A six-month-old, male Black Russian terrier dog was presented for oral masses on
the distolingual aspect of the mandibular left and right first molar teeth.
Intraoral dental radiographs showed periodontal support of the small teeth
(denticles). Oral and radiographic examinations of the remaining teeth indicated
no other dental abnormalities. The denticles had histomorphologic features of
small teeth including normal appearing crown and root structures. Clinical and
histopathologic examinations resulted in a diagnosis of bilateral compound
odontomas with completely erupted denticles. Treatment consisted of extraction
of all denticles and extensive curettage. The dog had uncomplicated wound
healing with no signs of recurrence based on oral examination performed
15-months postoperatively.
