Plain-English summary
Three young female dogs were diagnosed with a type of tumor called compound odontoma, which affects the mouth. They underwent surgery to remove part of their jawbone to eliminate the tumors. After the surgery, the dogs were monitored, and the tests confirmed that the tumors were successfully removed. The aggressive surgery led to a longer period without any signs of the tumors returning, which is a positive outcome for their health.

Abstract
Three young, female dogs were operated for compound odontoma. All tumors were considered stage III with treatment consisting of partial mandibulectomy or maxillectomy. Microscopic examination of the resected tissue confirmed the diagnosis. Relatively aggressive, resective surgery resulted in prolonged tumor-free intervals.
