Odontomas are benign neoplasms originating from odontogenic tissues. Most of these masses are asymptomatic and can only be diagnosed correctly via radiological studies.

Odontoma of the middle ear cleft is an unusual cause of conductive hearing loss. We report two cases and discuss the developmental mechanism by which this anomaly may occur. The differential diagnosis of calcified masses in the middle ear is also discussed.
Otodental syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant disease characterized by globodontia, associated with sensorineural, high-frequency hearing loss. Here, we describe the clinical, pathological, and genetic evaluations of a 9-year-old girl with otodental syndrome and multiple complex odontoma.The
