Multiple odontoma in Gardner syndrome: unusual report

Abstract

Gardner’s syndrome (GS) is a genetic disorder characterised by intestinal polyps, multiple osteomas, and soft-tissue tumours. Dentists play an important role in the syndrome diagnosis considering that craniomaxillofacial osteomas are a major criterion for Gardner’s syndrome diagnosis. This case report is of a young individual with gardners syndrome and presence of 28 odontomas in the mandibular posterior region which was surgically excised under general anesthesia.
