title: Complex composite odontoma associated with impacted tooth: A case report.
abstract: Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors and are generally asymptomatic. This paper describes the case of a complex composite odontoma in a patient who had an asymptomatic swelling in the maxillary molar region, along with the impacted third molar. In this case, surgical excision of the lesion was performed, and the impacted third molar was intentionally left in situ so that it could erupt to the level of occlusion.
