“…18,19 Facial asymmetry, halitosis, malocclusion and delayed tooth eruption have also been recorded in some cases. 17,20 Despite its great size, the erupted odontoma in this case was asymptomatic, and the patient had not detected it in her mouth because of her low socioeconomic status.…”

Odontomas are categorised into mixed odontogenic tumor that originates ecto-mesenchymally and made up of mineralised tissue. Hamartoma is the most frequent benign tumour with an odontogenic aetiology. It is distinguished by its sluggish growth and lack of aggression. "Erupted odontomas" are those that erupt into the oral cavity and are uncommon. They are usually noticed in regular radiography and can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, genetic mutations, or infection. They are categorised into complex and compound types. Erupted Complex Odontomas are rarely ensued into the oral cavity. The present case report is of such unusual erupted complex odontoma, where 17-year-old male patient reported with history of pus discharge from the left side of the face. This report is of clinical importance because it was associated with impacted tooth & agenesis of adjacent molar tooth which is usually rare. We provide clinical and radiographic findings as well as treatment for a unique instance of a massive erupted complicated odontoma in the maxilla.

“…However, it can be postulated that the eruptive force of nonerupted teeth plays an important role in the eruption of odontoma. In the absence of unerupted teeth, some authors assume that the odontoma eruption is caused by local bone resorption, which may involve both the bone remodeling of the jaws and the increase in the size of the tumor over time, since movement forces are not linked to fibroblast contractility, unlike teeth [7]. Another hypothesis described in the literature is that PO is an erupted form of an extraosseous mesiodens [1].…”

A 30-year-old Caucasian man presented with an 18-month history of an asymptomatic calcified mass, located on the buccal side of the alveolar ridge. Medical records did not present any underlying conditions. On intraoral examination, the lesion was located on the right side of the maxilla, showing mucosal fenestration with mineralized tissue measuring approximately 1 cm in diameter. Radiographic examination showed multiple radiopaque masses. Incisional biopsy was performed, and histological analysis revealed a presence of enamel matrix, dentin, and cementum, resembling tooth-like structures. Surgical removal was offered after the diagnostic confirmation of peripheral odontoma, but the patient refused because of the asymptomatic nature of the lesion.
