Abstract

Impacted lower permanent second molars do not occur frequently. When they do occur, they can present a serious treatment problem. It is essential to diagnose and treat as early as possible because treatment at a later stage is usually more complicated as the longer time tends to increase malocclusion and subsequently reduces efficiency in occlusion of remaining dentition. This case mentions one patient who had impacted lower permanent second molar and was treated with surgical removal of the impacted tooth, thus allowing the lower permanent third molar to erupt. The result was satisfactory.
