Idiopathic Multiple Impacted Teeth: A Case Report

Abstract

Multiple impacted teeth are related to syndromes, hormonal and metabolic disorders. But in some cases it is not associated with any syndrome, and may be affected by infection, cyst and trauma. Here we present a case of 34-year-old male with multiple missing teeth. Radiographic interpretation revealed multiple impacted permanent teeth. Medical and family history with physical examination was not suggestive of any syndromes. Idiopathic multiple impacted teeth are suggested to be the possible diagnosis. The objective is to increase awareness of such cases in the absence of hereditary, genetic and metabolic factors.
