Single Family Members with Multiple Impacted teeth: A Rare Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Multiple impacted teeth of idiopathic origin are a rare dental anomaly. Various local and systemic causative factors have been implicated in the literature; however, it is unknown at present about the localization of the genetic defect in the phenotype of failure of eruption. Retained primary teeth is a well-known process, but multiple permanent and supernumerary teeth that too asymptomatic is surely a rare possibility. This article aims in to consolidate and organize the available information regarding the tooth eruption failure and to collaborate the current evidence with the report of three adult sibling’s cases of failure of eruption of multiple permanent teeth in a family without a known cause.
