Odontoma is a hamartomatous lesion of odontogenic origin involving both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues.These odontogenic tumors are composed of enamel, dentine, cementum, and pulp tissue. Odontomas are usually diagnosed during the routine radiographic examination. Sometimes these tumors are associated with delayed tooth eruption, impaction, or primary tooth retention. Here we report a case of compound odontoma in a 17–year–old girl that has caused the delayed eruption of maxillary canine.
