MMP not only affectsthe oral mucosa but ocular involvement is also quite common. The severity of the disease is variable, and thegingival desquamation may be the first sign of this otherwise indolent disease and early diagnosis can reducethe morbidity especially ocular changes which could be irreversible leading to blindness can be prevented.We describe a case for documentation while describing the differential diagnosis and management of thedisease.

Odontomas are one of the most common odontogenic lesions, earlier considered as mixed odontogenicneoplasms but lately have been accepted as hamartomatous malformations. They are either detectedaccidentally on radiographs or when they are a cause of impeding normal eruption of teeth. Odontomasoriginate from the odontogenic tissue and contain enamel and dentine, hence are referred to as compositelesions. They can be of two types depending on the appearance. If they have masses of calcified structuresresembling multiple miniature teeth then they are called compound odontomas and if they appear as anirregular disorganized radiopaque mass they are referred to as complex odontomas. A case if complexodontoma is reported herewith which led to impacted maxillary molar.
