Rare Patterns of Impacted Mandibular Teeth: A Case Series.

Tooth eruption is the axial movement of the tooth from its developmental position within the jaws to the functional position in the occlusion plane. Any interference in the complex sequential events or pathology of the surrounding bone may cause diffi culty in eruption. Th is may cause an ectopic eruption and aberrant eruption pattern. Th is process might be altered by genetic, molecular, cellular or tissue causes too. Impacted teeth may therefore, be non-functional, abnormal or pathological. Moreover, ectopic eruption of second molars is rarely seen and infrequent. Here we report a case series of ectopic eruption of permanent mandibular molars with some rarest presentation.
