BILATERAL HORIZONTAL IMPACTIONS OF MANDIBULAR SECOND AND THIRD MOLARS: MIRROR IMAGE OF SLEEPING MOLARS
Dr. Manish Juneja* Dr. Jiji George and Dr. Devendra Mandhyan
ABSTRACT
Mandibular molar impactions are common; bilateral mesio-angular molar impactions are not rare either; however, bilateral horizontal impactions of molar pairs haven’t been reported quite often. We present a rare case of horizontally impacted mandibular second and third molars on both right and left sides of the jaw, with a discussion on the probable causes and implications of not extending timely treatment in such situations. The significance of timely radiographs in prevention of eruption disturbances is also discussed.
