Compound Odontome

Scenes from the orthodontist's growing Magician Problem:

During the surgery, the operating surgeon noticed a well-defined bag like mass which was removed in its entirety. [...] On further evaluation by the oral pathologists, and to their utmost surprise the bag revealed 526 tooth like structures.

In the pathologists' own words "it was reminiscent of pearls in an oyster". It took 5 hours of meticulate searching to remove all the minute teeth from the opened bag like specimen. "This pandora box of miniature teeth is a jewel on our crown" said the postgraduates. The tooth sizes varied from 1mm to 15mm and each resembled a tooth with crown covered by enamel and a root like structure.

"They then arranged the teeth into a Summoning Grid to bind the elder thing colloquially known as the 'Tooth Fairy'", the press release did not conclude.
