ABSTRACT
Complete failure of eruption leads to impaction. Impacted teeth are more common in maxilla as compare to mandible. The impaction of permanent dentition is not uncommon but out of them, few permanent teeth are rarely impacted such as maxillary first molars. Etiology behind this can be multifactorial. Here, we report two rare cases of impacted maxillary first molars which require very technique sensitive surgical removal so as to minimize risks of injury to adjacent teeth and other adjacent structures. Follow-up was made first day, third day, seventh day, and 1 month with no complication.
ABSTRACT
Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by ocular, craniofacial, dental and periumbilical abnormalities. We present a case of a 10-year-old boy. Its awareness among oral surgeons is essential for timely diagnosis and subsequent prevention of ophthalmic and systemic complications as craniofacial and dental features constitute the early recognizable symptoms of this syndrome. Systematic ophthalmic surgeries aid in relieving vision abnormalities, while symptomatic dental treatment should be provided for masticatory and esthetic rehabilitation.
