Abstract
Most common tumors of odontogenic origin are odontomas, which have slow-growing and non-aggressive behavior. In general, odontomas are more commonly associated with mixed and permanent dentition, with very few case reports of them being associated with deciduous dentition. Odontomas should be surgically managed once detected to avoid eruption disturbances and malocclusion. This article presents two case reports of odontomas in early childhood involving primary dentition.
