Odontomas are benign, slow-growing and nonaggressive clinically asymptomatic and are diagnosed on routine radiological examination. In our case report an asymptomatic hard growth in the upper right anterior region of the maxilla associated with impacted canine in a 16-year-old female was reported , panoramic radiograph revealed amorphous mass of calcified material with the radiodensity of tooth structure , with no anatomical resemblance to tooth , surrounded by a narrow radiolucent rim , suggestive of complex odontoma. Under local anesthesia, access to the lesion was achieved via intra-oral approach and surgical excision. To enable the eruption of retained permanent canine in order to establish harmony in the development of dental arch .
