Abstract


Odontome, the most prevalent odontogenic tumors, are typically asymptomatic and found during routine radiography tests. Frequently, it could obstruct teeth coming through. The example of a 10-year-old girl with a compound odontome that prevented the eruption of the left maxillary permanent central incisor is the focus of this paper. The radiograph revealed radio-opaque calcified masses, which were surgically removed to aid in the eruption of the tooth.
