Guided bone regeneration in the treatment of a compound odontoma in a dog

A large mandibular compound odontoma was treated by curettage of the bony cavity, removal of denticles and placement of a combination of autogenous corticocancellous graft and demineralised bone matrix under a resorbable collagen membrane. A second operation was carried out to resect some exhuberant gingival tissue. This treatment restored the integrity of the mandibular bone and avoided aggresive surgical resection.
