Abstract

Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumours made up of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. They are mostly associated with disorders of tooth eruption, causing impaction and/or delayed tooth eruption, and sometimes accidental findings on routine radiological examination. The purpose of this article is to present and discuss the case of a 21-year-old male patient who complained of obstructing the eruption of the right maxillary permanent central incisor. Radio-opaque calcified masses were revealed on a radiograph and masses were surgically removed.

Keywords: Complex, odontoma, impeding, central incisor, maxilla, eruption
