Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are additional teeth found on the incisors and molars. A distomolar supernumerary tooth usually mani-fests as a fourth molar tooth distal to the third molar. Distomolar can cause complications such as delayed eruption, dental ca-ries at the distal third molar, and sometimes pain. In this article, a case of distal third molar extraction dealing with complica-tions, especially pain, is reviewed. A 28-year-old male patient presented with pain in a distally impacted RB left third molar. The affected tooth and supernumerary tooth were surgically extracted. It was concluded that surgical extraction of distally impacted molars had a positive effect of pain reduction.
