Abstract

While impaction of tooth is widespread, multiple impacted teeth by itself is a rare condition and is found in association with syndromes such as cleidocranial dysplasia or Gardner's syndrome. This paper describes a young male who didn't possess any systemic conditions or syndromes with forty six multiple impacted teeth involving both jaws. Based on the clinical presentation, radiographic examination and histopathological studies, this paper discusses the differential diagnosis and management of such cases.
