Odontoma is a benign mixed odontogenic tumor. Odontoma is classified into two variants: compound odontoma, which has resemblance to the tooth structure, and complex odontoma, which consists of haphazardly arranged enamel and dentin bearing no resemblance to the tooth structure. The most common site of occurrence of complex odontoma is the posterior aspect of mandible. Surgical excision of the complex odontoma remains the mainstay of treatment, which seldom recurs. Here, we report a series of complex odontoma cases reported to our institute that were managed by surgical excision with no signs of recurrence in subsequent follow-up appointments.
