N2  - Peripheral developing odontoma is a seldom-encountered odontogenic lesion that presents almost exclusively during childhood. Its clinical presentation, along with radiographic findings, ordinarily orients suspicion toward a benign condition, but a conclusive diagnosis rests entirely on microscopic tissue analysis. Operative management is, in most instances, uncomplicated and definitive; however, difficulty arises when patients are unwilling to cooperate, potentially requiring supplementary interventions to achieve appropriate surgical treatment. We document an instance of a peripheral developing odontoma affecting the palatal region of the anterior maxilla in a child who would not cooperate, whose care was subsequently accomplished through diode laser excision, underlining the merits of this surgical modality for young individuals. Published evidence on the peripheral developing odontoma has been compiled and examined in a narrative review.
