Odontomes are the most common odontogenic tumors, slow growing and asymptomatic in nature. They frequently interfere with the eruption of teeth. This is an unusual case report of a complex odontoma in a 17 year old boy, which resulted in pain and failure of eruption of permanent left maxillary molars. Periapical radiograph revealed large dense calcified mass with impacted left maxillary first molar. A final diagnosis of complex odontoma was made. Later on odontoma was enucleated, sinus polyp was surgically removed. Routine follow-up was done for 6 months. No recurrence was observed. This article reports a unique co-existence of complex odontoma, sinusitis and sinus polyp.
