Abstract
Paul Broca coined the term Odontoma in 1869, defining it as a tumour formed by overgrowth of complete dental tissue. Odontomas account for approximately 22% of all odontogenic tumours of the jaws. We present two cases in which children aged 9 to 12 years old visited our OPD with the chief complaint of missing teeth. Clinical, radiographic, and histopathological examinations revealed the presence of a compound odontoma, which was surgically removed. Objective: Benign mixed odontogenic tumor early diagnosis of odontomas ensure better prognosis.
