Odontoma is a hamartomatous lesion of odontogenic origin involving both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Odontomas constitute about 22% of all odontogenic tumors of the jaws. They are usually asymptomatic but sometimes may interfere with the eruption of the associated tooth, leading to impaction or delayed eruption. This paper reports a case of management of the radiopaque mass which was associated with the impacted left maxillary canine. The radiopaque mass was surgically removed and confirmed as Compound Odontoma histopathologiocally.
