Abstract

Compound odontomas are considered as hamartomatous malformation rather than true neoplasms & are generally asymptomatic . The exact etiology is unknown and is often associated with the overretained deciduous teeth, most commonly in maxillary anterior region. In this case, multiple denticles or rudimentary teeth numbering 42 were enucleated from the mandibular symphysis region of 17 yr old female which makes this case rare and unusual. Evidence of concrescence, fusion, dilaceration were observed in the denticles enucleated, the size of which ranged from 2mm to 10mm.
