Abstract
Odontomas and dentigerous cysts are the common findings in the daily practice of dental professionals. However, simultaneous pathologies of odontome and dentigerous cyst are uncommon and diagnosis based on the radiographic appearance of such lesions is a challenge to overcome. They together are potential for complications like attaining large size, root resorption, destruction of jaw bones and some shows neoplastic changes like ameloblastoma. The potential complications justify histopathological evaluation and enucleation of all the odontomes. This paper is to describe a rare case of complex odontome with dentigerous lining in the anterior maxilla.
