The complex odontoma is non aggressive hamartomatous developmental malformations usually asymptomatic, with slow evolution and may be associated with other disorders such as dentigerous cyst as outlined in our case. The treatment of choice is surgical excision of the lesions along with the tooth associated to the cyst. Surgical excision of odontome with cyst in children should be performed with careful, imperative, immediate planning; preventing injury to vital structures and developing occlusion.
