They are considered to be hamartomas rather than neoplasms as they contain the tissues which are native to teeth i.e. enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp tissue. In this context, we present the case of a compound odontome in the maxillary left posterior region, which posed as an obstacle to the erupting canine, thus causing its impaction.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle10.5455/jtomc.2017.03.049 2017;24(3):357-9
