Odontomas are most frequently discovered odontogenic tumors. The maxilla is affected slightly more often than the mandible. There is no gender predilection. Clinical signs suggestive of odontoma include a retained deciduous tooth, an impacted tooth, and jaw swelling. These lesions generally produce no symptoms. A 12 years old boy came to our clinic for upper left anterior gum swelling. The initial impression was fibroma because there was no inflammation and no abnormal radiopaque lesion in the periapical film. An excision biopsy was about 0.5x0.3 cm hard tissue and ossifying fibroma was suspected. The specimen was then sent to the pathological department for further evaluation. The pathological diagnosis was mixed compound and complex odontoma. The clinical classification was peripheral odontoma. Odontomas, especially rare cases in the gingiva may lead to gingival swelling which must be differentially diagnosed with periodontitis.
