Symmetrical horizontal impacted bilateral mandibular third molar in lingo-buccal direction is a rare type of impacted teeth. When a tooth cannot erupt and fails to achieve a normal function and occlusion during its chronological age of eruption, it is called an impacted tooth. In this paper, a case of a male patient aged 20 years old who had bilateral horizontally impacted lower third molar which was noticed in a routine screening panoramic radiograph and confirmed with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging and referred to the oral maxillofacial surgical center for surgical removal of the impacted teeth in order to avoid late complications is discussed.
双侧下颌第三磨牙在舌颊向呈对称性水平阻生是一种罕见的阻生牙类型。当一颗牙齿在其正常萌出年龄时不能萌出且无法实现正常功能和咬合时,就称为阻生牙。本文讨论了一例20岁男性患者,其双侧下颌第三磨牙水平阻生,在常规筛查全景X线片上被发现,并经锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)成像证实,随后转诊至口腔颌面外科中心进行手术拔除阻生牙,以避免后期并发症。
