Abstract
We present short literature review, summary of patients’
clinical presentations and radiological images of a case series
of impacted mandibular fourth molars. Supernumerary
impacted mandibular molars are a rare dentofacial anomaly,
which are usually accidental clinical findings when
asymptomatic. These may result from the dichotomy of toothbud or extra tooth-bud formation during dentition evolution.
