Abstract :
The clinical presentation of third molar impaction cases differs from patient to patient. The different clinical aspects of mandibular third molar impactions include pain at the site or radiating pain in the jaw, trismus, cheek bite, difficulty in mastication abscess formation requiring incision and drainage. A significant number of cases are asymptomatic and are detected only on routine radiographic examination. A few cases also show unusual symptoms and clinical presentation. Hence the present case is intended to publish the unusual or the incomplete presentation, creating a diagnostic enigma.
