Abstract

Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumors composed of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissue. They are usually clinically asymptomatic, but often associated with tooth eruption disturbances. In exceptional cases the odontoma erupts into the mouth. The present study reports two cases of odontomes erupted into the oral cavity.
