Odontomas are non aggressive, hamartomatous developmental lesion of odontogenic origin. Failure of a permanent tooth to erupt is the most common clinical manifestation. They are classified as complex, when a mixture of odontogenic tissues without dental organization is present, or compound when it is composed of tooth like structures. Complex odontomas have a tendency to occur in posterior mandibular region. We report a case of complex odontoma occurring in maxillary anterior region, which is a relatively uncommon location.
