Impacted third and fourth molars: A case series

Abstract

We present short literature review, summary of patients’ clinical presentations and radiological images of a case series of impacted mandibular fourth molars. Supernumerary impacted mandibular molars are a rare dentofacial anomaly, which are usually accidental clinical findings when asymptomatic. These may result from the dichotomy of tooth-bud or extra tooth-bud formation during dentition evolution.    

Keywords: Supernumerary, non-syndromic, mandible, third molar, fourth molar.
