Abstract
Odontomas are the most characteristic among odontogenic tumors of the jaws, which are benign, slow-growing and non-aggressive. There are various theories, or etiological factors were quoted for occurrences of odontomas. Being asymptomatic in nature sometimes it may interfere with the eruption of the associated tooth leading to impaction or delayed eruption. Most of the lesions are diagnosed accidently on routine radiological examination in the second and third decades of the life. The sole management mainly depends on the early diagnosis, histopathological examination and surgical removal of the lesion. Here, we were presenting an interesting case of unusually large complex odontoma associated with pain, as well as missing molar is reported.
