Surgical and prosthetic management of maxillary odontogenic myxoma

ABSTRACT

Odontogenic myxomas are uncommon tumors of comprising of 3% of all the tumors of odontogenic origin. They usually occur during the second and third decades of life and are more commonly seen in females. The current case report sheds light upon the surgical treatment of a myxoma of odontogenic origin in posterior maxilla of a young female patient. Prosthodontic rehabilitation stages are also briefly described following complete healing of the lesion after surgery.

Key words:

Odontogenic myxoma - odontogenic tumors - maxillofacial prosthesis - prosthodontic rehabilitation
