The odontoma is a benign tumor of odontogenic origin, is considered a developmental malformation (hamartoma). The compound odontoma is formed by all tissues of a normal tooth arranged in an organized manner. Odontomas have slow growth and are not aggressive; most are asymptomatic, being diagnosed in routine radiographs. This study aims to present a case report of compound odontoma associated with impaction of permanent teeth in the jaw. Treatment opted for the surgical removal of the compound odontoma and permanent impacted teeth.
