An Oral Odyssey: Navigating the Complexity of Impacted Parapremolars and Paramolars in the Oral Landscape!

Supernumerary molars are an uncommon anomaly that can occur in the maxillofacial complex, referring to the presence of additional teeth in the dental arch. This condition is often associated with several rare disorders such as Gardner's syndrome, Cleidocranial dysplasia, Ehler-Danlos syndrome, and Down syndrome However, it is seldom observed in non-syndromic associations. They occur more frequently in the maxilla than in the mandible. This research represents a unique case study that explores unerupted paramolar and parapremolar follicles coexisting in both the maxillary and mandibular arches of a 17-year-old male patient. The discovery of these follicles was fortuitous, as the patient exhibited no symptoms during the initial orthopantomogram scan. Despite the absence of noticeable symptoms, vigilant monitoring and observation were employed over time. Subsequently, a substantial shift in the approach to management occurred with the integration of surgical and orthodontic methodologies, guided eruption strategies, and a collaborative, multidisciplinary effort.
