Abstract

Odontomes are hamartomatous lesions of odontogenic origin, classified under ‘Benign Mixed Epithelial & Mesenchymal Odontogenic Tumors’ by WHO 2022. They are mostly detected as incidental findings on standard radiographs due to their slow growth and benign behaviour. Occasionally, they may cause complications such as delayed tooth eruption, impaction, deflection, or retention of teeth. Only 2% cases have shown impaction of a deciduous tooth. We hereby report a case of a compound odontoma in a 5-year-old child causing impaction of a deciduous canine.
