fig1
Panoramic radiographs reconstructed of CBCT showed an irregular radiopaque mass surrounded by a distinct radiolucent rim associated with the upper right third molar, which was dislocated into the maxillary sinus (Figure 1).
Multiplanar reconstruction of CBCT in three different regions from each view.

The presence of fluid levels was seen in the left maxillary sinus, diagnostic of a sinus pathology (mucosa thickening) (Figure 2).

(a) Histopathology of the odontoma showing dense acellular eosinophilic dentin; basophilic dentin; prominent tubular array and minimal loose mesenchyme (hematoxylin and eosin stain). (b-c) Micro-CT images of the complex odontoma. White arrows, hyperdense areas; black arrows, hypodense areas. (b) Without zoom. (c) With zoom.

Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of complex odontoma (Figure 4(a)). Aartselaar, Belgium). A greater amount of hyperdense material in the periphery of the lesion was observed (Figures 4(b) and 4(c), white arrows), which is compatible with tooth enamel. Hypodense areas (Figures 4(b) and 4(c), black arrows) are compatible with areas of pulp tissue.
