Odontomas are hamartomatous lesions or malformations rather than true neoplasms which are generally asymptomatic. Making up 22% of all odontogenic tumors of the jaw, it is the most prevalent benign odontogenic tumor. It can be either compound or complex odontoma. Complex odontomas do not resemble teeth at all, whereas compound odontomas, which are composed of calcified tissues which resemble tooth. Odontomas usually are diagnosed accidentally on routine radiographic examination. Complex odontomas are frequently found in the posterior mandible. We report the case of unusually large sized complex odontoma in right posterior mandible which had been successfully managed by surgical excision by multiple separated blocks via intraoral approach to prevent pathological fracture of mandible and avoiding extraoral incision which leads to unwanted extraoral scar.
