Surgical Uprighting of Bilateral Impacted Mandibular Second Molars: A Case Report
The permanent tooth impaction is common clinical manifestation of tooth eruption. Although mandibular second molar impaction is uncommon, many studies report that this type of impaction is becoming more prevalent every year. These effects may ultimately result in the early loss of the patient’s mandibular second molar and first molar. In addition, the impaction can pose effects on craniofacial morphology. The treatment options depend on type of impaction, age of patients, and etiology of impaction. This case report presented a female patient, aged 14 years old, with bilateral impacted mandibular second molars. Surgical uprighting of both impacted mandibular molars were performed. Clinical appearance, diagnosis, surgical technique, patient’s care and follow up were also presented.
