Impaction of First Permanent Molars-Case Report.

Abstract

Occasionally, the extraction of an impacted tooth provides a clinical challenge for an oral surgeon. Any tooth may be impacted, but third molars and maxillary cuspids are most frequently encountered followed by premolars and supernumerary teeth. Various surveys have reported the rate and frequency of impacted teeth. Impactions can occur because of malpositioning of the tooth bud or obstruction in the path of eruption. Two unusual cases of impacted permanent first molars are described. The importance of panoramic radiographs in the identification of such anomalously placed teeth is stressed. (Author)
