It may be associated withsome complications such as pain, inflammation of the adjacent softtissues and delayed eruption of permanent teeth. In this report,clinical and radiographic findings of three erupted odontoma casesand a review of the literature are presented. Three of our patientswere male and the oldest was 80 years old. Two of the patients weresymptomatic and one was asymptomatic. Panoramic radiographsand cone-beam computed tomography images were obtained. Inthe literature review, we reached 66 papers published between 1989and 2020, with a total of 74 cases presented.
