Abstract
Introduction: Odontomas are benign, painless slow growing tumors with compound and complex variants. It has been classified as complex and compound odontomas. Complex odontoma is a tumor of mixed tissue origin. It is mostly detected and diagnosed on routine radiographic examination or may be suspected if corresponding tooth fails to erupt. Its management is surgical excision with excellent prognosis. Case report: A thirteen years old girl reported with the painful swelling on right body of mandible. Along with diffuse hard and tender extraoral swelling, pus discharge with 46 and 47 was evident on intraoral examination. Radiography revealed an aberrant calcified mass surrounded by a radiolucent halo and displaced 47. These findings confirmed the diagnosis of infected complex odontoma. Conclusion: Odontomas generally are quiescent yet can pose a threat by displacement of adjacent teeth and secondary infections. Both these complications were observed in this case. It makes clinicians to consider this entity whenever come across such clinical presentation.
