Complex odontomas are less frequently found as compared to the compound odontomas and they are considered to be hamartomatous malformations rather than true neoplasms. They are generally asymptomatic and are frequently found during a routine radiological examination. Occasionally, they become infected and cause pain and swelling. Here, we report a case of infected complex odontoma and the importance of CT in terms of its diagnosis and treatment planning.
