Incidental Detection of a Rare Inverted and Impacted Maxillary Third Molar in a Patient of Mandibular Unicystic Ameloblastoma

Reviewing the literatures, the most frequently impacted tooth was mandibular third molar, followed by the maxillary third molars, the maxillary canines and the mandibular premolars. The current case report aimed to present a rare inverted and impacted maxillary third molar incidentally detected in a patient of mandibular unicystic ameloblastoma on panoramic radiography, highlighting the importance of thorough radiographic examination of any jawbone lesions to detect the potential occurrence of other dental anomalies using panoramic radiography. *Corresponding author: Yuk-Kwan Chen, School of Dentistry, College of Dental Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University, 100 Shih-Chuan 1st Road, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Tel: +886-3121101~7017; Fax: +886-7-3210637; E-mail: [email protected] Received February 18, 2014; Accepted February 24, 2014; Published February 26, 2014 Citation: Chen CY, Wang WC, Lin LM, Chen YK (2014) Incidental Detection of a Rare Inverted and Impacted Maxillary Third Molar in a Patient of Mandibular Unicystic Ameloblastoma.
