ABSTRACT
Odontomas are hamartomatous developmental malformations of dental tissues. Compound odontomas are approximately twice as common as the complex odontomas. Compound odontomas commonly occur in the incisor-canine region of the maxilla and complex odontomas are frequently located in te premolar and molar region of both jaws. These are mostly associated with permanent teeth and only rarely with primary teeth. Odontomas seen in primary dentition are usually of compound type. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief review of literature on odontoma.
Keywords: Odontomas, hamartomatous.
