Odontomas are classified as benign tumors arising from epithelium and mesenchyme odontogenic and are considered more developmental abnormalities - Hamartoma - than true neoplasms. Undoubtedly, they are the most commonly tumors seen among those of odontogenic origin. Its pathogenesis is a very investigated, despite presenting indeterminate, being restricted to the realm of hypotheses, ranging from local infections and trauma to genetic factors. They are most frequently diagnosed in the second decade of life, often are included and asymptomatic, and usually are discovered in routine radiographs, being seen as an intensely radiopaque mass surrounded by a radiolucent line. Rarely it occurs eruption in the oral cavity and there are some theories that might explain it. This paper aims to present a case of extensive odontoma erupted into the oral cavity, discussing relevant aspects of the clinical surgery
