Abstract

Dilated odontoma is an extremely rare developmental anomaly that represents the extreme and most severe type III dens invaginatus. In this work, we present two cases of dilated odontoma of the maxilla that were detected randomly by radiography. In the first case, the dental element presented difficulties in eruption. In the second case, the tooth appeared microdontic.
