Abstract
Complex odontomas are a benign odontogenic tumour commonly found in the posterior region of the mandible and prevalent in young adults. They are often incidental findings on routine radiographic dental examinations. Although they rarely erupt and are usually asymptomatic, they can be of significant importance when they prevent normal eruption of teeth and dentists should refer to the local maxillofacial team for management. The treatment of choice is often surgical removal with the specimen submitted for histologic diagnosis. We present a case of a large complex odontoma of the mandible in this report.
