The complex odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of the jaw, consisting of a disorganised mass of dental tissue with unknown aetiology. They are often asymptomatic and usually identified incidentally upon radiographic examination. However, they have the potential to cause displacement and resorption of adjacent teeth as well as affecting tooth eruption, therefore early identification is important. We report a case of a 12 year old male who was referred to our department with an incidental finding of a complex odontoma in the mandible.
