Multiple unerupted mandibular permanent molar teeth: a case report

Abstract

The multiple impacted teeth at jaws are a rare condition that frequently associated with syndromes, metabolicdisorders or trauma. A 48-year old male patient was referred to our clinic, with complaint of pain on rightretromolar region while chewing. The patient had facial asymmetry and restricted mouth opening. Clinical andradiographic examination revealed the impaction of mandibular first, second and third molar and an abnormalcondyle and coronoid process. All of the impacted teeth were extracted. Because the patient refused othertreatment procedures no surgical intervention was performed for the asymmetry and restricted mouth opening.Six months clinic and radiographic follow up were satisfactory.
