Abstract :
Odontomas are benign tumors of jaws with mixed tissue, which are the result of prolifera-tion of odontogenic epithelium and mesenchymal cells. They occur almost centrally and seldom peripherally. There is no report of such a lesion externally while attaching a tooth crown. In this case, we present a lesion on the buccal surface of the right maxillary central incisor crown, which is misconstrued with a dental overgrowth. Such cases may confuse diagnosis during clinical examination. Radiographically, such odontomas may be mistak-en for various other lesions. Ultimate diagnosis should be relied upon microscopic evalua-tion and histopathological results.
