Abstract

ABSRACT:

Odontomas represent hamartomous proliferations of odontogenic epithelium and ectomesenchyme. Odontomas are classified under benign calcified odontogenic tumours, which are composed of more than one type of tissue (enamel and dentin) with anatomic resemblance to normal tooth (composite compound odontome) or simply as an irregular mass (complex compound odontome). This case report describes a case of compound odontome in a 15 year old male child.

Key words: compound odontoma, odontogenic tumor, retained primary teeth, unerupted permanent incisor.
