Abstract
ABSTRACT While impaction of tooth is widespread and common, multiple impacted teeth by itself is a rare condition which often is found in association with syndromes and also rarely reported in the literature. In some cases, however, impaction of multiple teeth is not accompanied by a fixed complex of symptoms. A 51- year-old male reported to our clinic with pain and sensitivity of his maxillary right last molar and mandibular anteriors respectively. IOPA and panoramic views revealed 4 impacted teeth in mandible (bilateral cuspids and I bicuspids) and 6 impacted teeth in maxilla (bilateral cuspids, I and II bicuspids). A total of 10 permanent teeth were impacted. In our case medical and family history along with extraoral examination were not suggestive of any syndrome or metabolic disorder. The rareness is the bilateral symmetrical pattern of impaction. How to cite this article Joyce S, Mathias V, Rao BHS.
