Abstract: Many developmental anomalies of the jaw are accidentally diagnosed during radiographic investigations for other symptoms. Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumors formed from epithelial and mesenchymal cells. They are mostly associated with disorders of tooth eruption, causing impaction and/or delayed tooth eruption. This article describes a case of a 13-year-old boy consulted for the delayed eruption of tooth #21, and discusses the fortuitous discovery of multiple odontomas on a radiographic examination. The treatment consisted on the surgical extraction of the multiple compound odontoma with preservation of the impacted tooth, monitoring clinically and radiologically its eruption followed by ultimate orthodontic positioning. Routine follow-up was carried out for more than 3 years. Early diagnosis of odontomas allowed adoption of less expensive treatment and ensured a better prognosis.
