Abstract
Objectives: The term “kissing molars” refers to a rare entity in which impacted mandibular second and third molars have contacting occlusal surfaces in a single follicular space and roots are pointed in opposite directions. The aim of this article is to describe three cases of mandibular kissing molars assessed through cone-beam computerized tomography and their management. Materials and Methods: In one case the condition was associated with a supernumerary teeth. In the other case the kissing molars were associated with a dentigerous cyst, which disarticulated the two impacted teeth. The third case of kissing molars involved a fibro-osseous lesion in the anterior mandibular region. Result: We are in the opinion that kissing molar cases should be further examined for other lesions of the jaws. Keywords: Kissing Molars, Supernumerary Teeth, Dentigerous Cyst, Fibrooseous Lesion
