The boy had a swollen growth on lower jaw which turned out to be a 'bag-like structure' full of tiny, rudimentary teeth.
On July 11, P Ravindran, 7, was taken to the Saveetha Dental College and Hospital in Chennai, complaining of a swollen growth on his lower jaw. When the dentists X-rayed Ravindran, they found a"bag-like" tumor containing 526 small teeth.
Fortunately the growth was caught early. All of the boy's other teeth are fine, according to his dentists, though the growth of his molars will be affected, requiring molar implants in his teens. Dentists are still looking for a cause for the boy's condition."Biopsy results showed it was just abnormal growth. There could be a strong genetic [component], but we cannot rule out environmental factors such as radiation from mobile towers," said Ramani.
