Resumo

Introduction: Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumour. They are considered to be hamartomas rather than neoplasms. They are generally asymptomatic and are discovered on routine radiographic examination. Odontomas might be associated with disturbance in tooth eruption. Other symptoms include retention of deciduous teeth, pain, swelling, expansion of cortical bone, tooth displacement. Eruption of odontoma in the oral cavity is rare with only 11 cases being reported about erupted compound odontomas.Case report: An unusual case of erupted compound odontome associated with pain and impacted maxillary left second premolar is reported. We have also discussed the clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features of this rare condition.
