Odontomas aremalformations of the dental tissues andmay interfere with the eruption of the associated tooth. Complex composite odontoma (CO)was described as a distinct entity for the �rst time by Broca in 1866.is lesion takes place due to the developmental disturbances where the dental components are laid down in a disorganizedmanner, due to failure of normalmorphodifferentiation. Very few cases of erupted complex composite odontomas have been reported in the literature. e case reported here is of an odontoma found in the le mandibular body, associated with an impacted second molar of a 17-year-old Saudi male. Under local anesthesia the odontoma was surgically removed. Histopathological examination con�rmed the diagnosis of CO. e impacted secondmolar which was le in the mandibular body erupted clinically aer 6 months. Erupted CO is rarely seen in the mandibular le body. e early diagnosis, followed by a proper treatment at the right time, will result in a favorable prognosis. 1
