Multiple impacted permanent teeth are usually related to syndromes, metabolic and hormonal disorders. However, in some cases, impaction of multiple teeth is not associated with any syndrome. In this report, we present a case of 17-year-old male patient with missing teeth. Radiographs revealed multiple impacted permanent teeth, though medical and family history along with physical examination was not suggestive of any syndromes. If other investigations are negative, an idiopathic case of multiple impacted teeth is suggested to be the possible diagnosis. The objective of this report is to increase awareness of such cases especially in the absence of hereditary/genetic/metabolic factors usually inherent in such scenarios. The patient management in such cases needs to be planned specifically from a multidisciplinary standpoint.
多颗埋伏恒牙通常与综合征、代谢和激素紊乱有关。然而,在某些情况下,多颗牙齿埋伏与任何综合征均无关。在本报告中,我们介绍了一名17岁的男性患者,他存在牙齿缺失的情况。X线片显示有多颗埋伏恒牙,尽管其病史、家族史及体格检查均未提示任何综合征。如果其他检查结果为阴性,则提示可能诊断为特发性多颗牙齿埋伏病例。本报告的目的是提高对此类病例的认识,尤其是在通常此类情况下所固有的遗传/基因/代谢因素不存在的情况下。此类病例的患者管理需要从多学科角度进行专门规划。
