Odontomas are benign lesions that take origin from dental tissues. They are generally classified into complex and composite type. Odontomas are usually asymptomatic but may present with signs and symptoms relating to their presence. The present case report is based on incidental finding of odontoma detected on routine radiographic examination of a 16-year-old female patient, who complained of over-retained deciduous tooth and missing of permanent tooth in maxillary anterior region of jaw. Various radiographic examinations using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) were performed, which exhibited compound odontoma. The lesion was surgically operated and given for histopathological examination. Final diagnosis was given based on biopsy report obtained after surgical removal of the lesion.
