Abstract

Odontomes are hamartomatous lesions or hard tissue anomalies rather than true neoplasm. They are asymptomatic frequently associated with delayed tooth eruption and often diagnosed in the second decade of life. This case report discusses the presence of multiple tooth like structures in the upper right front region of the jaw with the patient's complaint of the delayed eruption of 13. Clinical and radiographic findings were suggestive of odontome in relation to 12 and 13 region along with the absence of 12. Hence the treatment was planned for removal of the odontome to facilitate the eruption of the permanent canine.

Keywords: Compound Composite Odontome, Odontogenic Tumour, True Partial Anodontia.
