Abstract
Odontomas are the commonest of all the odontogenic tumours. They are usually asymptomatic and found during routine radiographic examination. Odontomas are benign hamartomatous developmental anomalies of the orofacial region with a mixture of mature dental odontogenic tissue. In this case, we discuss a case of a complex odontome which presents as dental pain in the posterior mandible. KEYWORDS: Odontoma, Complex odontome, odontogenic tumours
