Odontomas are the commonest of all the odontogenic tumours. They are usually asymptomatic and found during routine radiographic examination. Odontomas are benign hamartomatous developmental anomalies of the orofacial region with a mixture of mature dental odontogenic tissue. In this case, we discuss a case of a complex odontome which presents as dental pain in the posterior mandible. KEYWORDS: Odontoma, Complex odontome, odontogenic tumours
