Odontome in very rare instances erupts into the oral cavity. It was Rumel et al in nineteen eighty who first explained a case of an erupted odontome. Paul Broca in 1867 first used the phrase odontoma and defined it as tumors produced by the excessive growth of complete dental tissue (1). The phrase “odontoma” refers to any tumor of odontogenic origin. They are considered as developmental abnormalities rather than a true neoplasm (2). The likely etiologies proposed are local trauma, genetic susceptibility and infection (3).
