Abstract
Odontomas are odontogenic tumors that present as benign lesions. They are always diagnosed in the second decade of life. Odontomas are generally asymptomatic, but often associated with impaction of the permanent tooth. They are usually detected by a routine radiographic examination. This case report describes a case of an impacted maxillary lateral incisor associated with compound odontoma in a 10 years 8 months old boy and the treatment procedures. In order to re-position the impacted tooth to normal alignment, orthodontic treatment was followed after the odontoma was surgically removed. After one year, the patient showed a stable occlusion and good prognosis.
