Background: Odontomas are known as the most common form of odontogenic tumour composed of mixed odontogenic origin. These are usually discovered accidentally during routine or diagnostic radiographic investigation. Compound odontomas often present themselves in the maxillary incisor-canine region while complex odontomas are found in the mandibular premolar-molar region. Odontoma though symptomless occasionally can interrupt the eruption of underlying teeth causing aesthetic and occlusal discord especially in the anterior maxilla region. Case: A 31-year-old female presented with pain and presence of an abnormally shaped tooth on her upper right anterior maxilla region. The tooth was diagnosed as compound odontoma and causes an impact of an underlying maxillary lateral incisor. Surgical assisted eruption of the impacted lateral incisor was done after removal of the odontoma, followed by exposure of the impacted tooth crown and gradual orthodontic-guided traction into occlusion. Conclusion: A combined (surgical-orthodontic) approach is deemed to have a higher prognostic value and optimal outcome for the impacted maxillary incisor associated with odontoma.
