Odontomas are the most common tooth-like hamartomatous odontogenic tumours, which are usually asymptomatic and found on routine radiographs. Odontomas are commonly classified into two types: complex and compound odontomas. The most common consequences of odontoma are tooth impaction and/or delayed tooth eruption. The present report describes a unique case of multiple complex odontoma in the anterior maxillary region in a 12-year-old young patient, which is a rare occurrence. The uniqueness of this case report is in the location, number, and complexity of the complex tumours. Early diagnosis, proper treatment planning, appropriate management, and regular follow-ups of these odontomas helped in complete removal and prevented recurrence even after 12 months of follow-up.

Ameloblastoma is a true benign odontogenic epithelial tumor, primarily arising in the jaw, and ranks as the second most prevalent odontogenic neoplasm following odontoma. Known for its diverse clinical, radiographic, and histological manifestations, ameloblastoma encompasses a wide spectrum of presentations. Unicystic ameloblastomas (UAs), a less common and generally less aggressive variant, appear as cystic lesions that can mimic ordinary jaw cysts in their clinical and radiologic features.
