The surgery that lasted nearly four hours, saw surgeons led by Dr Bharat Maheshwari remove 80 teeth formed in one of jaws of boy Vivek hailing from Gwalior district. 

"The patient had visited us five days ago with abscess in upper jaw. Upon medical investigations, it was diagnosed a case of odontome. We planned the surgery and removed 80 teeth after clearing abscess, which is rare in tender age," Dr Maheshwari said. 

According to The Times of India, a cluster of cells forms a large mass of tissues that may be deposited in an abnormal arrangement and cause complications, he said.
