Introduction
Kissing molars are a rare example of impaction wherein the “occlusal
surfaces of impacted molars are united by the same follicular space and
the roots point in the opposite direction”[1}.
Most commonly they involve mandibular third (M3Ms) and second molars
however other teeth have been known to be involved, for instance a third
and fourth supernumerary mandibular molar[2].
Impaction affects as many as 72.7 % of third permanent molars in 20-30
years olds[3]. There are many known causes of
failure of eruption of teeth. It is already known that certain medical
conditions can predispose to failure of eruption of teeth such as
Cleidocranial dysostosis[4].
Very few bilateral cases have been published in the literature, so this
case adds to this small cohort with the hope to increase awareness and
ultimately optimise confidence for onward referral and management. We
will also discuss possible treatment planning options for its
management.
