Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Odontomas represent hamartomatous proliferations of odontogenic epithelium and ectomesenchyme. Odontomas are classified under benign calcified odontogenic tumors, which are composed of more than one type of tissue (enamel and dentin) with anatomic resemblance to normal tooth (composite compound odontoma) or simply as an irregular mass (complex compound odontoma). The present case report describes a case of compound odontoma in a 15-year-old male child.
