The most common type of odontogenic tumours is odontomas. Generally, they are benign and asymptomatic in nature. This paper describes two varieties of odontomas in two different cases. In first case a compound odontoma present in maxillary anterior region lead to over retention of primary teeth and non eruption of permanent teeth. Retained deciduous teeth and the lesion were removed and permanent teeth were allowed to erupt and orthodontic treatment was done. In 2nd case a complex odontoma was incidentally found when patient reported for extraction of mandibular third molar which was surgically excised. The results achieved indicate that the early diagnosis of odontomas allows the adoption of a less complex and expensive treatment and ensures better prognosis.

Lip has an important role in esthetics and phonetics of an individual. Damage to marginal mandibular nerve leads to loss of motor function and muscle tone of the affected side of lip. Eventually, it leads to loss of both primary functions of lip. Various surgical approaches of treatment do exist, but the treatment time is long and results are often not satisfactory. Prosthetically, these patients can be managed with the help of lip plumber prosthesis. This case report presents simple and accurate method to restore the harmonious relation of the lip.
