Bilateral Transverse Mandibular Second Molars: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Impaction of mandibular second permanent molars is a rare occurrence, with prevalence rates reported to be between 0.65% and 2.0%. In the absence of systemic conditions, impactions are usually unilateral. There appears to be no consensus as to the optimal treatment for impacted mandibular second molars and treatment plans will be based upon the individual case. Treatment may involve orthodontics and/or various surgical techniques, and early diagnosis is important. This paper presents an unusual case of bilateral transverse impaction of both mandibular second and third molars that was diagnosed at 18 years of age. All impacted molars were extracted.

Congenital absence of permanent second molar is an extremely rare condition, which may appear as part of a syndrome or as a non-syndromic form. Non-syndromic second molar agenesis combined with other types of teeth agenesis has occasionally been described in the literature but isolated cases are rarely observed. It might be caused by a number of complex interactions between genetic, epigenetic ...
