Odontomas are the most common of the odontogenic tumors of the jaws which are benign, slow growing and nonaggressive in nature. Odontomas are usually asymptomatic but sometimes may interfere with the eruption of the associated tooth leading to impaction or delayed eruption of the tooth. These lesions are usually diagnosed on routine radiological examination in the second decade of the life. Some may even remain undiagnosed for a longer time as the patient will not be aware about its presence. A case report of 64 year old male is presented in this article. It is tried to discuss the etiology, clinical presentation, histopathological features and treatment aspects of odontomas.
