In a series of 118 odontomes in an Australian population there were no sex differences in the prevalence of complex and compound lesions with regard to site, age or type of lesion. The odontomes were most commonly detected in the second decade, but a wide age range was evident. Complex odontomes were more common than compound, with equal frequency in the anterior maxilla and mandibular molar region. The most common site for compound odontomes was the anterior maxilla.
