Carnoy's Solution for the Management of a Pediatric Patient with Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor: A Case Report with 2-year Follow-up.

Aim: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a slow-growing, rare lesion that arises from the odontogenic epithelium. It predominantly involves the bone that supports teeth and exhibits different levels of inductive alterations within the connective tissue. Case description: A 10-year-old female presented with a missing lower left front tooth since birth. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed an odontogenic neoplasm with respect to the retained deciduous teeth. Under local anesthesia, enucleation of the lesion was carried out followed by application of Carnoy's solution. The diagnosis of AOT was established based on histopathological examination. Two-year follow-up orthopantomograms (OPG) revealed good healing with no signs of recurrence, and permanent successors had successfully erupted. Conclusion: The methodology employed in this study ensured nonrecurrence of the lesion and facilitated the successful eruption of the impacted teeth. Although the recurrence rate was relatively low, the need for periodic follow-up cannot be overstated. Clinical significance: Early diagnosis and conservative surgical management of AOT are crucial to prevent complications and ensure proper eruption of permanent teeth. The use of adjunctive therapy like Carnoy's solution may aid in minimizing recurrence, highlighting the importance of regular follow-up. How to cite this article: Priya K, Shetty YR, Saha S, et al.
