Abstract
Multiple impacted permanent teeth is a rare finding and often associated with systemic diseases or some rare syndromes. This article reports two Iranian cases with multiple impacted teeth without systemic disease or syndromes. The first patient, a 17-year-old male, had 18 unerupted teeth and 9 unerupted supernumerary teeth. The second patient, a 16-year-old female, had 14 unerupted teeth. In these cases, an interdisciplinary approach between orthodontist, oral surgeon and prosthodontist is required to achieve optimum facial aesthetics and functional occlusion.
Highlights
Permanent teeth will erupt to their functional occlusion and replace their successor teeth
The panoramic radiograph of the patient demonstrated multiple impacted teeth in the maxilla and mandible (Figure 2, Table 2) It was planned to assist the eruption of impacted teeth by surgical exposure and orthodontic traction
In case 1, it seems that over retained deciduous teeth along with multiple supernumerary teeth might have resulted in multiple impactions of permanent teeth
Summary
Permanent teeth will erupt to their functional occlusion and replace their successor teeth. The patient was of normal build and didn’t reveal any sign of syndromes, mental retardation or skeletal abnormalities. On intraoral examination, he had retained deciduous teeth in both jaws with no eruption of permanent teeth. The panoramic radiograph of the patient revealed multiple impacted permanent teeth in the maxilla and mandible, retained deciduous teeth and multiple supernumerary teeth in the maxilla and mandible (Figure 1, Table 1). The panoramic radiograph of the patient demonstrated multiple impacted teeth in the maxilla and mandible (Figure 2, Table 2) It was planned to assist the eruption of impacted teeth by surgical exposure and orthodontic traction. Surgical removal of impacted teeth and prosthodontic treatment is required
