Odontomas are benign tumors of the mandible composed of derivatives of odontogenic epithelium and ectomesenchyme. They are histologically divided into two groups: compound odontoma and complex odontoma. The compound is formed by many teeth, small, grouped in a sac whose conjunctival wall is identical to that of the normal dental follicle. The etiology of odontoma is unknown, it may appear after an old trauma. Most of these lesions are asymptomatic and are often detected on routine radiographs. The treatment consists of the surgical extraction of the odontoma alone or followed by orthodontic treatment in the case of inclusion of a tooth.
