Cone beam computed tomography scan showed an extensive hiperdense area with unknown evolution, in premolar maxillary region. The previous diagnosis was complex odontoma. The microscopic examination showed, in the removed mass, haphazard fashion with enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp. Final microscopical diagnosis was complex odontoma.
