case_images: An intra-oral examination revealed a conical tooth in the position of the right central incisor; the left central incisor was missing [Figure 1].

case_images: Radiographs showed three irregular masses of calcified tissue resembling teeth-like structures in the palate; they were inverted and the structure resembled the tooth showing single pulp space and had dilacerated roots [Figure 2].

case_images: (a) Decalcified section of a tooth showing multiple pulp spaces in between showing a dentin-like material (H and E stain with 4x magnification); (b and c) cells showing odontogenic cell features probably reminiscent of ameloblast in close approximation to dentin (decalcified section: H and E stain, 4x and 40x magnification, respectively); (d) connective tissue capsule detached from the surrounding hard tissue (H and E stain, 10x magnification)

case_images: A histopathological examination revealed that one calcified structure showed features of multiple pulp spaces and areas of active mineralization, and was diagnosed as a compound composite odontoma; other two teeth had normal histological features of a tooth and were termed as supernumerary teeth [Figure 4].
