A rare anatomical variation of upper multiple impacted third molar

Abstract

The third molar is the most commonly impacted tooth which is the cause of pain and discomfort in the second and third decade of life. Therefore, it is the commonly carried out minor surgical procedure which helps remove the cause of discomfort and pain. However, few cases may show no related signs and symptoms and such multiple impacted tooth is found accidently on radiographic findings. This can be removed to avoid discomfort or pain or any pathology in the subsequent period of time. In this case report, we discuss about the multiple impacted upper third molar in a patient, which showed a unique anatomical variation.
