Abstract :
Incidence of multiple impacted teeth is a rare entity. Impacted teeth not only impedes with the function may be associated with numerous pathological lesions. Multiple impacted teeth could be related to varied etiology such as syndromes, hormonal and metabolic disorders. It could also be due to infection, cyst or traumatic etiology without any syndromic association. Many literatures show a linear relationship between multiple impacted teeth and cystic changes. Radicular cysts are the most commonly affecting cystic lesions of the jaw and comprise about 52% to 68% of all the cysts which affects the human jaw. There are both therapeutic and prophylactic indications for surgical extraction of the impacted teeth.
